Lyrics for I Will Follow You Into The Dark

Lyrics: Ben Gibbard
Music: Ben Gibbard

Sung by Dan Lebowitz with Phil Lesh and Friends in August 2014.

Love of mine
Someday you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light
Or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's
On their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school
As viscious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised
By a lady in black

I held my tongue
As she told me, son
Fear is the heart of love
So I never went back

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's
On their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me
Have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes

Are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'Cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's
On their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark
