1st Verse
Love is stronger than fear
It's a fire you put out with tears
And it keeps its own kind of time
Oh, I've known some nights that go on for years
2nd Verse
Love never runs smooth
It's both the knife and the wound
When it's gone
We want it again
'Cause right to the end
We're willin' fools 'cause
Chorus
Nothing's so dark as a moonless night
Nothing's so cold as being empty inside
Love lifts you up, oh and love makes you crawl
Nothing feels worse feeling nothing at all
3rd Verse
Love has cut me before
With my own hand on the sword
I have learned what everyone knows
With one tender rose
There's a handful of thorns, but
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
So I'll light up a candle in the dark of the room
'Til even the shadows are warm
As I hold on to you
(Hold on to you)
You're holding me
'Cause love is the key and the door
(Chorus Out)
