I'd like to pack this in and take you to the stars
We'll eat at fancy restaurants and drive in fancy cars
We tried our luck, we made a buck, so lean back, have some fun
Oh, yes, my love, but first just this last one
We stood on a cliff on a starless night, yeah
I held your hand in my mine
So stand by me with all your heart
I need you by my side
Over the river is cold and black and the bottom is a long way down
Another one, going underground
Why can't we cut the ropes and let that poor fool go?
Don't you go getting weak on me, not when I need you so
We stood on a cliff on a starless night
I held your hand in my mine
So stand by me with all your heart
I need you by my side
Don't lose your step, now we're almost there
Go wash your face and comb your hair
So, trust me now, believe in me
Forever more your love you have pledged to me
We stood on a cliff on a starless night
I held your hand in my mine
So stand by me with all your heart
I need you by my side
We'll stay at home and call this day our own
Listen to a record and watch a candle burn
I'm feeling kind of drowsy, there's blood on the floor
And when I'm gone, you still will have my love forever more
My love forever more
my love forever more
