To Be By Your Side ("Le Peuple Migrateur" National Geographic)
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 Love comes 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 Love comes 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
