If I told you
that I couldn't promise the sun would always shine
but I could promise you would always know warmth
like warm amber on an onyx night
would you follow me?
If I told you
that I couldn't promise the moon would always come out
but I could promise my heart would always shine
lighting the way for you
would you follow me?
If I told you
that I couldn't promise the wind won't bite when it blows
but I could promise you shelter
wrapped up in my arms
would you follow me?
If I told you
that I couldn't promise some days won't taste bitter
but I could promise life together would be sweet
and that we would always crave each other
would you follow me?
If I told you
that I can see for miles and miles
the beauty in days, the magic of nights
and I could weave them into every moment
would you follow me?
I can tell the truth and make it right
you will know the warmth, see the light
feel the breeze and taste the love
if you have a place in your heart
to follow me.
