When I was young I searched for truth in hidden places Where the wine and whisky flowed And I found comfort in those hard-luck leather faces Where the good-girls didn't go All my life I found I've been no stranger to the darkness But I found treasures that I never woulda known I'd rather trust the night Than be afraid to leave I would rather risk it all Than have nothing give I'd rather fly high Knowing I might fall I would rather hurt from love Than not know love at all I fell in love with him Tho I knew it was spotless He was restless wild and free He moved my spirit And he left my body breathless And I gave him all of me Tho time has eased the pain And tamed the flames of passion His memory warms me Like a candle in my soul I'd rather trust the night Than be afraid to leave I would rather risk it all Than have nothing give I'd rather fly high Knowing I might fall I would rather hurt from love Than not know love at all So run through the rain Dance in the darkness Every gift this moment brings Will never come again I'd rather trust the night And let the day forgive When I leave this world behind I want to know I lived I'd rather fly high Knowing I might fall I would rather hurt from love Than never love at all I would rather hurt from love Than not know love at all
