I won't live to see my beliefs come true I will die to choke on a bone 'cause there ain't no love as clean as a dove So carry on, my darling Plunge your sharpened knife Through my naked flesh The only thing that's still mine For I've given you all that I ever had So carry on, my darling Like a hurricane destroys the land Disappointment cuts through my life Leaving nothing good but a broken pride So carry on, my darling What a fool I put my trust where I can't see, where I can't touch But I'm no soldier, it ain't no war I am yours for what it's worth So carry on, my darling
