hell or high

(for Mum)

How could I imagine ever losing sight of you?

All my life you've been there like a river running through

You've never disappointed me or ever walked away from me

I'd be there if you needed me, come hell or high water

You were with me when my heart was broken long ago

I don't know how you knew: I tried not to let it show

There's nothing that I wouldn't do to keep the wolves away from you

If you should ever need me to, come hell or high water

Come fire or flood

Money or love

High tide or low

Wind, rain or snow

There are some promises you never have to make

Habits of a lifetime you know you'll never break

Nothing else means more to me, and that's just as it ought to be

I'd be there if you called to me, come hell or high water
