We kept our heads down we moved through the water's wake We lay still until winter had worn off There were cold winds bringing storms together There were black clouds over rainbows we could see the messages etched on the fence posts From those summer nights when we slept outside under starlight Would you love me any less If my eyes became weak If I could no longer hear you speak Would you love me any less You were born with an honest heart And it carried me from the start It kept our skin warm as we walked on the old rail tracks The sun beat misty heat down on our backs There was nothing that could ever change us There were picture frames on the window sill with an image of us looking so still Guess I thought that we'd be here forever Would you love me any less If my lungs became weak If I had lost the strength to eat Would you love me any less You were born with an honest heart And it carried me from the start Oh my oh my would you walk on holy water Oh my oh my could you walk through bricks and mortar
