This Love Will Carry

"This Love Will Carry"

by Dougie MacLean

It's a thin line that leads us

and keeps us all from shame

and dark clouds quickly gather

along the way we came

there's fear out on the mountain

and death out on the plains

there's heart-break and heart-ache

in the shadow of the flame

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

but somewhere in the distance

well 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

this love will carry

this love will carry me

I know this love will carry me

So these days are golden

they must not waste away

and time is like that flower

and soon it will decay

and though by storms we're weakened

and uncertainty is sure

but like the coming of the dawn

it's ours for ever more

this love will carry

this love will carry me

I know this love will carry me
