lyrics

I lay claim to this piece of the rock
in the name of you and I and all our future children
and we can dance upon whatever grave we like
at least they'll know somebody's really living

all this just to make you believe
it could always be this way
and through the night she clings tight to me
exhales and exclaims
can it always be this way

I will cling to this piece of the rock
against the tides of time that are so unforgiving
and I'll return here til the well runs dry
remind myself why its all worth living

all this just to make you believe
it could always be this way
and through the night she clings tight to me
exhales and exclaims
why can't it always be this way

always
