To Be By Your Side (Nick Cave)

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

Every mile and every year
For everyone a little tear
I cannot explain this, dear
I will not even try

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

For I know one thing
 [bad word] on a wing
For tonight I will be by your side
But tomorrow I will fly

From the deepest ocean to the highest peak
Through the frontiers of your sleep
Into the valley where we dare not speak
To be by your side
Across the endless wilderness
Where all the beasts bow down their heads
Darling, I will never rest
Till I am by your side

Every mile and every year
Time and distance disappear
I cannot explain this, dear, no
I will not even try

And I know just one thing
 [bad word] on a wing
And tonight I will be by your side
But tomorrow I will fly away
Love rises with the day
And tonight I may be by your side
But tomorrow I will fly, tomorrow I will fly
Tomorrow I will fly
