Lover Man

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
