May It Always Be - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

I’ve been with you for a fairly long time

May I call you, may I call you, may I call you mine?

And you, unknown, have been with me

May it always, may it always, may it always be

Please don’t leave my side, remember I love you

None of what I have done wrong was really done against you

If you love me, and I’m weak, then weaker you must love me more

To re-enforce what’s also strong and all the love we have in store

By example you show me that living’s alright

Stay here with me, stay here with me, stay with me tonight

And come with me when I go into the bedroom

And we’ll play bride, and we’ll play bride, and we’ll play bride and groom

If you had not been born you know

What would I, what would I be then?

I would not have had strength to grow

And be counted, and be counted among men

Please don’t leave my side, remember I love you

None of what I have done wrong was really done against you

If you love me, and I’m weak, then weaker you must love me more

To re-enforce what’s also strong and all the love we have in store

In the morning we’ll wrestle and ruin our stomachs with coffee

Won’t we be, won’t we be, won’t be happy

And we will rise in anger, love and ardour

Shining, shining, shimmering in love’s armour
