I've known a lot of love and I've had some company
But now I know your love and I'm where I'm supposed to be
I took to you just like an arrow on the string
Well I should've known one day you'd come for me
May hard times
Pass us by
May hard times
Pass us by
They'll come a time when I am many miles away
But know I'll follow you as evening follows day
And when the sky it breaks I'll raise my face to rain
And I'll love you in the sunlight or the shade
May hard times
Pass us by
May hard times
Pass us by
When the world is grey and our bodies old
When the forger's fire grows ashen-cold
When the years drag on and yet pass us by
I'll be there in hard times
If there's a day when winter comes without a spring
Or when the birds above go silent with no singing
I'll stick with you just like the mew upon the wing
And we'll weather what the tides of life may bring
May hard times
Pass us by
May hard times
Pass us by
May hard times
Pass us by
May hard times
Pass us by
