  To Be By Your Side – Nick Cave

   

  Across the oceans
  Across the seas,
  Over forests of blackened trees.
  Through valleys so still we dare not breathe,
  To be by your side.
  
  

  Over the shifting desert plains,
  Across mountains all in flames.
  Through howling winds and driving rains,
  To be by your side.
  
  

  Every mile and every year
  for every one a little tear.
  I cannot explain this, Dear
  I will not even try.
  

  Into the night as the stars collide,
  Across the borders that divide
  forests of stone standing petrified,
  To be by your side.
  
  

  Every mile and every year,
  For every one a single tear.
  I cannot explain this, Dear,
  I will not even try.
  

  For I know one thing,
  Love comes on a wing
  For tonight I will be by your side.
  But tomorrow I will fly.
  
  

  From the deepest ocean
  To the highest peak,
  Through the frontiers of your sleep.
  Into the valley where we dare not speak,
  To be by your side.
  
  

  Across the endless wilderness  
  where all the beasts bow down their heads.
  Darling I will never rest
  till I am by your side.
  

  Every mile and every year,
  Time and Distance disappear
  I cannot explain this. Dear!
  No, I will not even try.
  

  For I know one thing,
  Love comes on a wing and tonight
  I will be by your side.
  
  But tomorrow I will fly away, in wind
  
  Love rises with the day
  and tonight I may be by your side.
  
  But tomorrow I will fly,
  
  Tomorrow I will fly,
  
  Tomorrow I will fly.
