Ride The Shadows (2006)
 
I Will Stand By You
Who’ll worship and deliver you
When time is no longer kind
Dust the corners of your mind
When your body’s worn and the kids have sworn
You’re the cruellest one alive
I will stand by you

Contrary to the way I seem
I could hold you up for quite a while
Got too much love to let you lose your mind
When you feel the scorn and your heart is torn
And you forgot what you hoped to find
I will see you through

All the mercies of the modern world
You can count ‘em on my hands, you’re my little girl
When one is wrong and two is right
At three a.m. in the middle of the night
That’s when freedom’s king and the fear’s unfurled
I’ll be your duke, your duke of earl
We’ll walk through this world, where the air is clear
And I’ll tell you everything you need to hear

Oh you know it wasn’t long ago
I was deep in the fiercest tide
I closed my eyes when it opened wide
I nearly bottomed out, but without a doubt
You pulled me back alive
And I will stand by you

All the mercies of the modern world
You can count ‘em on my hands, you’re my little girl
When one is wrong and two is right
At three a.m. in the middle of the night
That’s when freedom’s king and the fear’s unfurled
I’ll be your duke, your duke of earl
We’ll walk through this world, where the air is clear
And I’ll tell you everything you need to hear
