I was a prisoner behind (these) city wall.
You came like a Knight in the dark
I thought our love could keep us together.
But these days it seems to tear us apart.

We’ve been through the wars forever.
The world can seem so cruel and unkind.
But you must never leave a lover.
Never leave a lover
Never leave your lover behind

Never leave a lover behind
Don’t you ever leave a lover behind.
Wherever you go I will find you
Never leave a lover behind
It doesn’t really matter they’re at
(It doesn’t matter if heart has been Broken)
It doesn’t matter if they take you to hell and back.
(and your soul has been to hell and back)
Never leave a lover
Never leave a lover
Never leave your lover behind
We’ve been wounded in battle.
Crossed into enemy lines.
Broken down under torture.
Guilty of serious crimes
And through all the stormy weather
If you take all the years and rewind

Never leave a lover
Never Leave a lover
Never leave your lover behind

You must never leave a lover behind
Never leave a lover behind
Wherever you go I will find you
Never leave a lover behind
It doesn’t really matter they’re at
(It doesn’t matter if heart has been Broken)
It doesn’t matter if they take you to hell and back.
(and your soul has been to hell and back)
Never leave a lover
Never leave a lover
Never leave your lover behind
Never leave a lover
If you have to blow your cover
Never leave your lover behind

(I’d do a lead here)
Modulation

Never leave a lover behind
You must never leave a lover behind
No matter where you go, I will find you.
Never leave a lover behind
It doesn’t really matter they’re at
(It doesn’t matter if heart has been Broken)
It doesn’t matter if they take you to hell and back.
(and your soul has been to hell and back)

Never leave a lover
Never leave a lover
Never leave your lover behind
Never leave a lover
Never leave a lover
Never leave your lover behind
One way or another
If you have to blow your cover
Never leave your lover behind
