"Our Love Will Carry On" lyrics

She stood on the hill
Near the land that I tilled
And she wore a red dress
Though I couldn't care less
She's as beautiful now
As on the very first day that we met

I was dead and alone
And I held what I owned
Just a bottle of sin that I've tried to disown
Since the day I was born
The devil has made me his home

She wasn't the same
When she called out my name
Like a raven who's lost
Or a child in pain
She is haunted and lame
And I am the reason to blame

Well, I've poured my last glass
As I've done in the past
And I'll do it again
If you give me the chance
If you give me a light
I will give you my last breath
(And she said...)

"Oh, the dead have come and gone
Our love will carry on
And though I am praying for this evening to end
Our love will carry on"

I looked in her eyes
The most beautiful eyes
I was sick in my thoughts
And I wanted to die
And I prayed for the end
Oh Lord, how I prayed for the end

She reached for my hand
And she kissed all its scars
Now the roses are dead
And she fell in my arms
As we kissed on the lips
I fell back in the abyss
(And she said...)

"Oh, the dead have come and gone
Our love will carry on
And though I am praying for this evening to end
Our love will carry on"

"Oh, the dead have come and gone
Our love will carry on
And though I am praying for this evening to end
Our love will carry on"
