May Hard Times Pass Us By

I've known a lot of love and I've had some company

But now I know your love and I'm where I'm supposed to be

I took to you just like an arrow on the string

Well, I should have known one day you'd come for me

May hard times

Pass us by

May hard times

Pass us by

There'll come a time when I am many miles away

But know I'll follow you as evening follows day

And when the sky, it breaks, I'll raise my face to rain

And I'll love you in the sunlight or the shade

May hard times

Pass us by

May hard times

Pass us by

When the world is grey and our bodies old

When the forger's fire grows ashen-cold

When the years drag on and yet pass us by

I'll be there in hard times

If there's a day when winter comes without a spring

Or when the birds above go silent with no singing

I'll stick with you just like the mew upon the wing

And we'll weather what the tides of life may bring

May hard times

Pass us by

May hard times

Pass us by

May hard times

Pass us by

May hard times

Pass us by
