When you know love
Wishbone Ash · Paper Sleeve Box [2007]
She was born in a spirit of brightness
Knew just how to deal with poison wine.
Be very brave, she taught me to behave
On the road that is so long.
Be not afraid of tears,
When you know the love
Then you can know no fear.
When you know love
You can know no fear.
She looks on from her realm within the other
Now she's fighting hard to keep her sovereignty.
She will live forever
In her spirit of brightness
She will always deal with poison wine.
To stay alive
She taught me to survive
In the face of every trial.
Be not afraid of tears
When you know the love
Then you can know no fear.
When you know love
You can know no fear.
