When the river don't run and the night won't fall When I fear the touch of the highway's call When I close my eyes and the dreams won't come When the world has set me free, will you still be with me, my loverman? When the moon turns red and the sun burns black When the reaper's whip, falls across my back Will you lay me down on a bed of stone? In that long and silent sleep, will you be with me? What if I just go flying away? What would you say? Would you wait a million years? Would you cry a million tears for me? Or would you take my hand? Would you fly away with me? Or would you be with me, loverman? When the hour glass is broken And the final word is spoken When fate has lost its power This word will still be ours Loverman, oh, my loverman, yeah What if I just go flying away? What would you say? Would you steal me from the cold? Would you lead me to my soul again? And when we reach the end, when we face eternity Would you be with me, my loverman? Oh, loverman, yeah When the river don't run and the night won't fall When I fear the touch of the highway's call When I close my eyes and the dreams won't come And the world has set me free, yeah When the moon turns red and the sun burns black When the reaper's whip across my back Will you lay me down? Will you lay me down on a bed of stone? In that long and silent sleep Loverman, loverman, oh, loverman Loverman, yeah Loverman, yeah
