in the hollow of the night it's you I sing for


I neatly fold our love in four,
I hug my mother, I bolt my door
I go to find our love a little black cave
and dig it down deep and hope it will behave

I would do anything for your love
I would do anything for your love
Yes I would do most any old thing
I'd humble my heart, I'd let you win
I would do most any old thing
in the hollow of the night it's
You you you I sing for

I found our love that little black cave
but I couldn't get back 'cause it didn't have a name
So don't you say you died a thousand deaths
to bring me words I haven't even heard yet

I would do anything for your love
I would do anything for your love
Yes I would do most any old thing
I'd humble my heart I'd let you win
I would do most any old thing
I give my word, I'd make you king, yes
I would do most any old thing
I'd lower my hand, I'd let you swing
I would do most any old thing
In the hollow of the night it's
You you you I sing for

I found our love a little black cave
but I couldn't get back
'cause it didn't have a name no
Dig and dug. Toil and toil
I left my love for you inside that cave hole
