Lyrics

There's a bond that binds - there's a love unique
In the deep of the night - I hold you close to me
If the morning light brings us warning - if the world should ever leave us torn
I know that with you beside me - we could weather the storm
I don't need no golden palace - the treasure lies within your soul
It's happiness that we are saving - to shelter us as we grow old
And everything this world will give us - could be taken back before the dawn
As long as we’re here united - we can weather the storm
So batten down the hatches baby - buckle up for this wild ride
It's one short life we’re given - and honey how time flies
I've been shaken to the core by heartache - I have felt the bitter winds of grief
I have learned that there's no permanence to anything – and time will always be a thief
So hold me tight here in this moment - may this love forever keep us warm
Through the gales of lifes' tempests calling - we can weather the storm
So batten down the hatches baby - buckle up for this wild ride
It's one short life we’re given - and honey how time flies
I don't believe in apparitions – and I don't believe in fairytales
I have stood upon shifting sands – and I’ve woken up on beds of nails
I've learned kindness is all that really matters - and that loves the strongest force we know
So shelter here with me darling - as the storms of life they come and go
And batten down the hatches baby - buckle up for this wild ride
It's one short life we’re given - and honey how time flies
