To Be By Your Side

Across the oceans across the seas

Over forests of blackened trees

Through valleys so still we dare not breathe

To be by your side

Over the shifting desert plains

Across mountains all in flames
Through howling winds and driving rains
To be by your side

Into the night as the stars collide
Across the borders that divide
Forests of stone standing petrified

To be by your side

Every mile and every year

For every one a single tear

I cannot explain this, dear
I will not even try

Nick Cave
