He said to lose my life

or lose my love

That's the nightmare

I've been running from

So let me hold you

in my arms a while

I was always careless

as a child

And there's a part of me

that still believes

My soul will soar

above the trees

But a desperate fear

flows through my blood

That our dead love's

buried beneath the mud

Let's grow old together

and die at the same time

Let's grow old together

and die at the same time

I said "I've got no time

I have to go"

And I was more right

then now I'll ever know

He said "My heart is faint

will minds regret?"

And left him crying

next to the chapel steps

Let's grow old together

and die at the same time

Let's grow old together

and die at the same time

he said

Let's grow old together

and die at the same time

Let's grow old together

and die at the same time

he said

He said to lose my life

or lose my love

That's the nightmare

I've been running from

so let me hold you

in my arms a while

I was careless as a child

there's a part of me

that still believes

My soul will soar

above the trees

a desperate fear

flows through my blood

Our dead love's buried

beneath the mud

adesperate fear

flows through my blood

Our dead love's buried

beneath the mud
