And He Would Say - Stephin Merritt

I’m not afraid

Because I know

You’ll come again

Through wind and rain

Or falling snow

When they invade

And he would say:

«don't leave without me!

Don’t run away

Then where would I be?»

And I/he would say:

«I'll wait for you

Till my last day.»

My love is pure

And will abide

For time untold

You’re young and bold

But we must hide

Where, I’m not sure

And he would say:

«here, we have no chance

Let’s steal away

No time for romance!»

And I/he would say:

«I'll run with you

Till our last day.»
