I Will Love You

Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Greg Anton

One of the lyrics Robert Hunter wrote for Zero. Greg Anton has explained:

"A poignant love ballad and most unusual Hunter lyric. I've often thought that many people would find it hard to believe that these are Robert Hunter lyrics. The verses are classic Hunter oblique poignancy, but the choruses are a straight shooter at the heart."

Through the long, long night
When daybreak fails
And the beast of the forest
Wrap themselves in their tails
To sleep through winter
And awake with the spring
And the valley of danger
With birdsongs ring

I will love you
I will love you
I will
Love you

Through the false tribulations
And the true actual pain
Through the torents of cloud
With their fingers of rain
That beat on the shutters
And creep under the door
Leave signatures in sediment
That seep across the floor

I will love you
I will love you
I will
Love you

Through the moral situation
When both my hands are tied
And either way I waver seems
To be the losing side
Through the things I bring upon myself
And those that come for free
I will keep my faith in you
If you will keep your faith in me

I will love you
I will love you
I will
Love you
