“This love will carry” by Dougie MacLean
A beautiful, heartfelt song by Dougie MacLean that Shonnie and I heard last night on WCQS, our local NPR station. Lyrics below the video.
THIS LOVE WILL CARRY by Dougie MacLean
It’s a thin line that leads us and keeps a man from shame
And dark clouds quickly gather along the way he came
There’s fear out on the mountain and death out on the plain
There’s heartbreak and heart-ache in the shadow of the flame
This love will carry. This love will carry me
I know this love will carry me
The strongest web will tangle, the sweetest bloom will fall
And somewhere in the distance we try and catch it all
Success lasts for a moment and failure’s always near
And you look down at your blistered hands as turns another year
This love will carry. This love will carry me
I know this love will carry me
These days are golden, they must not waste away
Our time is like that flower and soon it will decay
And though by storms we’re weakened, uncertainty is sure
And like the coming of the dawn it’s ours for evermore
This love will carry. This love will carry me
I know this love will carry me
