DON’T LET THE BROKEN WORLD
KILL YOUR PRECIOUS LOVE  

Should the darkened seas
In fury rise
Or all seem treachery
Or falsehood in disguise  

If the road is perilous
Or fades before the flood
Don’t let the broken world
Kill your precious love 

Should all you’ve undertaken
Lie forsaken or undone
Or strangers speak against you
In false and fevered tongues

This dream on waking
Remember will be gone
Don’t let the broken world
Kill your precious love

If the world should turn 
In stops and starts
And the more it turns
The more it breaks your heart 

Try to be strong
Just strong enough
Don’t let the broken world
Kill your precious love  

Should all you see before you
Dissolve and finally fade
Or the bright world shatter
Resplendent yet in vain

Should daylight bring respite
Yet respite not enough
Don’t let the broken world
Kill your precious love
