(I'll Love You) 'Till The End Of The World

It was a miracle I even got outta Longwood alive

This town fulla men with big mouths and no guts

I mean, if you can just picture it

The whole third floor of the hotel gutted by the blast

And the street below showered in shards of broken glass

And all the drunks pourin' outta the dance halls

Starin' up at the smoke and the flames

And the blind pencil seller wavin' his stick

Shoutin' for his dog that lay dead on the side of the road

And me, if you can believe this, at the wheel of the car

Closin my eyes and actually prayin'

Not to God above, but to you, sayin'

Help me girl, help me girl

I'll love you till the end of the world

With your eyes black as coal and your long dark curls

Some things we plan, we sit and we invent and we plot and cook up

Others are works of inspiration, of poetry

And it was this genius hand that pushed me up the hotel stairs

To say my last goodbye

To her hair white as snow, and her pale blue eyes

Sayin: I gotta go, I gotta go, the bomb and the bread basket are ready to blow

In this town of men with big mouths and no guts

The pencil seller's dog spooked by the explosion

And leapin' under my wheels as I careered outta Longwood on my way to you

Waitin in your dress, in your dress of blue

I said thank you girl, thank you girl

I'll love you till the end of the world

With your eyes black as coal and your long dark curls

And with the horses prancin' through the fields

With my knife in my jeans and the rain on the shield

I sang a song for the glory of the beauty of you

Waitin for me in your dress of blue

Thank you girl, thank you girl

I'll love you till the end of the world

With your eyes black as coal and your long dark curls
