Cast
all
your fears aside
And say you will, say you will be mine
And stay with me until the end of time
And help me, help me grind this mill of life
Please say you will, say you will be mine
And times and customs may change
And life may get dizzy
My heart is deep in the country
But I live for the city
Chasing those greenfields that lie
Just over the hill
Isn't it time that I rested
Time to stand still?
I need a lover surely
As I need a friend
Someone whose laughter I'll lean on
To tie our lives together
Cast all your fears aside
And say you will, say you will be mine
And love me until the end of time
And help me, help me grind this mill of life
And say you will, say you will
We're on a ship out to sea
And it's stormy weather
Why don't you promise to me
Devotion forever?
The hillsides are yellow and green
And the olives still bloom
We will make passionate love
By electrical moons
I need a lover surely
As I need a friend
Someone whose laughter I'll lean on
To tie our lives together
Cast all your fears aside
And say you will, say you will be mine
And stay with me until the end of time
And help me, help me grind this mill of life
And say you will, say you will
Cast all your fears aside
Say you will
Cast all your fears aside
Say you will
You make my heart come alive
Say you will
Help me, help me, help me, help me
Grind this mill, grind this mill of life
Say you will, say you will be mine
Come on, come on, come on
Come on (say you will, say you will be mine)
Say you will, say you will (say you will)
Say you will be mine
TrackTalk
When
Dave (Stewart) and I wrote Say
You Will,
I said, I'm never gonna be
able to sing like that
because he's got
this chord sequence running up the sky, and I just about managed it.
I'd
like to hear someone with a real amazing voice do it. Working with Dave
was stimulating because we were into things that neither of us had
done,
we were up for anything. I'd certainly never written a song like Say
You Will. But we wanted to
surprise people.
