To Be by Your Side Lyrics
Across the oceans across the seas,
Over forests of blackened trees.
Through valleys so still we dare not breathe,
To be by your side.
Over the shifting desert plains,
Across mountains all in flames.
Through howling winds and driving rains,
To be by your side.
Every mile and every year,
For everyone a little tear.
I cannot explain this, dear,
I will not even try.
Into the night as the stars collide,
Across the borders that divide
Forests of stone standing petrified,
To be by your side.
Every mile and every year,
For every one a single tear,
I cannot explain this, dear,
I will not even try.
For I know one thing,
Love comes on a wing,
For tonight I will be by your side,
But tomorrow I will fly.
From the deepest ocean to the highest peak,
Through the frontiers of your sleep.
Into the valley where we dare not speak,
To be by your side.
Across the endless wilderness,
Where all the beasts bow down their heads.
Darling, I will never rest
Till I am by your side.
Every mile and every year,
Time and distance disappear
I cannot explain this, dear no,
I will not even try.
And I know just one thing,
Love comes on a wing
And tonight I will be by your side.
But tomorrow I will fly away,
Love rises with the day
And tonight I may be by your side.
But tomorrow I will fly, tomorrow I will fly,
Tomorrow I will fly.
Over forests of blackened trees.
Through valleys so still we dare not breathe,
To be by your side.
Across mountains all in flames.
Through howling winds and driving rains,
To be by your side.
For everyone a little tear.
I cannot explain this, dear,
I will not even try.
Across the borders that divide
Forests of stone standing petrified,
To be by your side.
For every one a single tear,
I cannot explain this, dear,
I will not even try.
Love comes on a wing,
For tonight I will be by your side,
But tomorrow I will fly.
Through the frontiers of your sleep.
Into the valley where we dare not speak,
To be by your side.
Across the endless wilderness,
Where all the beasts bow down their heads.
Darling, I will never rest
Till I am by your side.
Time and distance disappear
I cannot explain this, dear no,
I will not even try.
Love comes on a wing
And tonight I will be by your side.
But tomorrow I will fly away,
Love rises with the day
And tonight I may be by your side.
But tomorrow I will fly, tomorrow I will fly,
Tomorrow I will fly.

I don't think it is on a Nick Cave album. It's the soundtrack for the movie "Le peuple migrateur"
Why do so many Nick Cave songs remind me of what it feels like to be in the presence of that which is sacred?

I'm surprised noone ever posted this song before... Well, to me it's about a man who could and will do anything for the person he loves, but he can't grant he'll be in love forever.
Beautiful song. One of my fav's!
Does anybody know where this song's from? Thought I had all the albums...
