When the river don't run and the night won't fall   When I fear the touch of the highway's call   When I close my eyes and the dreams won't come   When the world has set me free, will you still be with me, my loverman?      When the moon turns red and the sun burns black   When the reaper's whip, falls across my back   Will you lay me down on a bed of stone?   In that long and silent sleep, will you be with me?      What if I just go flying away?   What would you say?      Would you wait a million years?   Would you cry a million tears for me?   Or would you take my hand?   Would you fly away with me?   Or would you be with me, loverman?      When the hour glass is broken   And the final word is spoken   When fate has lost its power   This word will still be ours   Loverman, oh, my loverman, yeah      What if I just go flying away?   What would you say?      Would you steal me from the cold?   Would you lead me to my soul again?   And when we reach the end, when we face eternity   Would you be with me, my loverman?   Oh, loverman, yeah      When the river don't run and the night won't fall   When I fear the touch of the highway's call   When I close my eyes and the dreams won't come   And the world has set me free, yeah      When the moon turns red and the sun burns black   When the reaper's whip across my back   Will you lay me down? Will you lay me down on a bed of stone?   In that long and silent sleep   Loverman, loverman, oh, loverman      Loverman, yeah   Loverman, yeah
