locked and barred
to stem the onslaught of the tide
you took your heart
and fled to higher ground to find a place to hide
where lanterns never shine

torn apart
as ruined buildings tumble down
the queen of hearts
I look for you in every corner of this town
resplendent in your crown

if I stop loving you
the world won’t turn again
as monuments crash down
and the storm clouds gather in
if I stop loving you
the sun will rise no more
on that lonely eastern shore
if I don’t survive the storm
I won’t stop loving you

unlock the door
you don’t have time to say goodbye
travel far
and search in fields of gold for somewhere safe to lie
a bed without a spine

a troubadour
hoarse from pouring out my soul
there’s always more
I haven’t ink to leave a message on the wall
an incoherent scrawl

if I stop loving you
the world won’t turn again
as monuments crash down
and the storm clouds gather in
if I stop loving you
the sun will rise no more
on that lonely eastern shore
if I don’t survive the storm
I won’t stop loving you

if I stop loving you
the world won’t turn again
as monuments crash down
and the storm clouds gather in
if I stop loving you
the sun will rise no more
on that lonely eastern shore
if I don’t survive the storm
I won’t stop loving you

will I stop loving you?
that’s a task that can’t be done
a war that can’t be won
as I fly towards the sun
I won’t stop loving you
as flames engulf the city skyline
as my hands and face are writhing
you are all I see
even if you don’t love me
I won’t stop loving you
