Come What Come May

well I can't be your father's echo
always three sheets set to sail into the storm
you keep spinning on your compass spoke
but you know my humble ship would keep you warm

so love I'd love to love you better
than every swain who left a shadow on your skin
I've been sleeping on your primrose path
so won't you lift your garden gate and let me in?

come what come may
come what come may

you say you're looking for redemption
still you don't believe the tides can ever change
but if you're sailing with your head turned back
you'll never see my lonely lighthouse guide your way

so what's the hurry with your dying
when every soul will someday settle in the ground
well you could slide into that volcano
but you know that I would follow you right down

come what come may
come what come...

I know you said the life you led would always come between
I don't care, I don't care
the hurricane is only rain, so once you're feeling clean
I'll be there, I'll be there
come what come may
come what come may

and if you find a quiet meadow
will you stop to see who might be left behind?
no, you'll be running from my open arms
but I'll be lovin' you till the day I'm gonna die

come what come may
come what come may
come what come may
come what come may
