And if we fight
Let them call it battle
Let it stir up rocky love
That comes to shake me in the saddle
Another knight
Let them call him noble
Just for going bravely where
A thousand men have gone before
But I'm afraid
Of promises made
Of staring down the barrel
Of these plans we called best-laid
Of safe and sound
Of holding ground
And if we dance
Let it be on starbeams
Let them tear the sky in two
Let spill the diamonds forth from our dreams
Into our hands
Let us be the lovers
The ones who bear the flag
And beat the drum for all to hear
But I'm afraid
[I'm afraid]
Of promises made
[Promises made]
Of staring down the barrel
Of these plans we called best-laid
Of safe and sound
[Safe and sound]
Of holding ground
