Will You Know Me
Will you know me in the darkness?
Will you know me in the rain?
Will my hand also be your hand?
Will my markings be your pain?
There is healing in alliance,
There is care in amity,
But my hurt was for no reason,
And my maim was desultory.
Will you go, will you go there?
Will you weigh misery?
Will you walk beside me kindly,
Will you lift my agony?
I am yours forever truly,
And my heart longs for your touch;
I can give you my dark secrets,
I can make my coldness lurch.
In my self is your true idol,
My genes are your vibrancy,
To each other we can promise,
In a bold dependency.
Will you go, will you go there?
Will you weigh misery?
Will you walk beside me kindly,
Will you lift my agony?
I can do it on my own terms,
I can fight the gloomy tide,
But if you would fight it with me,
I will be your world and bride.
Will you go, will you go there?
Will you weigh misery?
Will you walk beside me kindly,
Will you lift my agony?
Will you lift my agony?
