I would walk to the edge of the universe for you Paint you a crimson sunset over sheltering skies I could learn all the world dialects for you Whisper sonnets in your ear discovering truth I could never worship pagan gods around me I will only follow the path that leads me To you, baby, always Every step I take for you I will always defend, never pretend That every breath I take for love I could never be wrong The journey is long With miles to go before I sleep Niles to go before I sleep I would carry the rock of Gibraltar just for you Lifted like a pebble from the beach to the skies I could build you a bridge that spans the ocean wide But the greatest gift I give you would be to stand by your side Some can criticize and sit in judgment of us But they can't take away the love that lives inside us always Every step I take for you I will always defend, never pretend That every breath I take for love I could never be wrong The journey is long With miles to go before I sleep Niles to go before I sleep I won't run from the changing signs along The highway Let the rivers flow to the highest ground Created
