Ok I don't know if it is just because I just finished Cash by Johnny Cash and know that he died only a few months after June but I was just listening to Death Cab for Cutie and this song totally reminded me of them. Also I think it is beautiful and it is what I want too. If I am old and gray with the person I have loved for years beside me and they died I would want to follow them as well. It is just one of the ways that I am too romantic for my own good sometimes. Not that I believe in killing yourself if you are younger to be with the person you love but I do believe in dying of a broken heart. Anywho here are the lyrics to the song I was just talking about.

I Will Follow You Into The Dark

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles brusied by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark
