Dougie MacLean — This Love Will Carry lyrics

Lyrics

It’s a thin line that leads us and keeps a man from shame
And dark clouds quickly gather along the way he came
There’s fear out on the mountain and death out on the
plain
There’s heartbreak and heart-ache in the shadow of the
flame
(But) this love will carry. This love will carry me I know this love will carry me The strongest web will tangle, the sweetest bloom will
fall
And somewhere in the distance we try and catch it all
Success lasts for a moment and failure’s always near
And you look down at your blistered hands as turns
another year
These days are golden, they must not waste away
Our time is like that flower and soon it will decay
And though by storms we’re weakened, uncertainty is sure
And like the coming of the dawn it’s ours for evermore
