We kept our heads down.
We moved through the water's wake.
We lay still until winter had worn off.
There were cold winds bringing storms together.
There were black clouds over rainbows.
We could see the messages etched on the fence posts
from those summer nights when we slept outside under starlight.
Would you love me any less
if my eyes became weak?
If I could no longer hear you speak?
Would you love me any less?
You were born with an honest heart
and it carried me from the start.
It kept our skin warm as we walked on the old rail tracks.
The sun beat misty heat down on our backs.
There was nothing that could ever change us.
There were picture frames on the window sill
with an image of us looking so still.
Guess I thought that we’d be here forever.
Would you love me any less
if my lungs became weak?
If I had lost the strength to eat?
Would you love me any less?
You were born with an honest heart
and it carried me from the start.
Oh my, oh my, would you walk on holy water?
Oh my, oh my, could you walk through bricks and mortar?
Would you love me any less
if my lungs became weak?
If I had lost the strength to eat?
Would you love me any less?
You were born with an honest heart
and it carried me from the start.
Would you love me any less
if my eyes became weak?
If I could no longer hear you speak?
Would you love me any less?
You were born with an honest heart
and it carried me from the start.
