This Love Will Carry

MacLean Dougie

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

CHORUS
(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
CHORUS

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
CHORUS
