Love You ‘Til The Day I Die
Neil Finn
There’s closets in my head where dirty things are kept
That never see the light of day
I want to drag them out, go for a walk
Just to see the look that’s on your face
Sometimes I can’t be straight I don’t want to hurt you
So forgive me if I tell a lie
Sometimes I come on cold but don’t believe it
I will love you till the day I die
I believe in doing things backwards
Take heed, start doing things in reverse
Here comes trouble, there’s nothing wrong when I relax
I’m talking to myself you’re coming with me
Teaching you how to distort the facts
Sometimes I can’t be straight I don’t want to hurt you
So forgive me if I tell a lie
Sometimes I come on cold but don’t believe it
I will love you till the day I die
I believe in doing things backwards
Take heed, start doing things in reverse
Frost on the window pane, the sound of pouring rain
All makes me glad of you
Though I am far away I am always with you
Know the answer before you know the question
Pull yourself together, baby, push with all your might
I’m all alone, always alone
Though I am far away
I am always with you

“Songs have a very strange, convoluted pathway often. This one started as a little mandolin ballad and ended up as the heaviest song on the first album. We discovered a guitar riff at rehearsal on the Mullanes tour with Craig Hooper, who was with us at the time. Two guitars going donk-donk, dangaranga, donk-donk... and that was the origin of the heaviness.”

The frosted window pane
The sound of pouring rain
All makes me glad of you
It drives the world away
Not a single thing to do
This house is safe and warm
We shelter from the storm
Your love protects me too
Though I am far away
I am always with you
Sometimes I come on cold, but don’t believe it
I will love you ‘til the day I die
Sometimes I can’t be straight, don’t want to hurt you
So forgive me if i tell a lie
