It Goes On

When your heart's on the edge
 Barely hanging on like a midnight cigarette
 When the nights don't seem to end
 And that lonely wind is singing you to sleep once again
 I won't make a promise I can't keep
 Like a river flows to the ocean deep
 It goes on and on
 Bound to forever, even when we're gone
 It goes on and on
 We'll be together at the rising of the dawn
 It goes on
 When your mind's on the loose
 Slowly wearing out like a faded old tattoo
 When the days all look the same
 When that lonely wind keeps singing, only you can ease the pain
 That's the kind of bond that you can't break
 Like looking up at all the stars in space
 It goes on and on
 Bound to forever, even when we're gone
 It goes on and on
 We'll be together at the rising of the dawn
 It goes on
 Digging through the sands of time to find my way back home
 Your memory's the thing that keeps me hanging on
 To know I'm not alone, we're stronger than the bonds of blood
 Even on the darkest days together through the valley of the gun
 It goes on and on
 Bound to forever, even when we're gone
 It goes on and on and on
 We'll be together at the rising of the dawn
 We'll be together
 At the rising of the dawn
