Cause in the End

Old boots on gravel, moon hangin' low

Walkin' that same dirt path we used to know

You'd run circles 'round me, kickin' dust in the air

Ears up, tail high—no worry, no care

World felt lighter with you by my side

Just a man and his dog on a midnight ride

But time moves on like a slow, hard tide

And even the strongest rivers run dry

But in the end, only love survives—

When the road grows quiet and the last star dies

Yeah, I lost your steps, but you're still in my life

Every heartbeat whispers you're doin' alright

Flesh may fade, but spirit stays alive

'Cause in the end, only love survives

Coffee on the porch, sunrise burnin' red

You'd rest your head on my knee, waitin' to be fed

Didn't need words—you knew all my storms

Curled up beside me just keepin' me warm

Now that old porch creaks in a different way

And I still see your shadow at the break of day

Some say loss is a debt we all must pay—

But loving you? I'd owe it all again any day

'Cause in the end, only love survives—

When the road grows quiet and the last star dies

Yeah, I lost your steps, but you're still in my life

Every heartbeat whispers you're doin' alright

Flesh may fade, but spirit stays alive

'Cause in the end, only love survives

Run free where the fields don't end

Where the rivers shine and the skies never bend

And when my road's done and the heavens arrive

I know I'll see you there on the other side

Yeah, in the end, only love survives

Stronger than the dark, louder than the night

I still feel your soul runnin' next to mine

Guidin' my steps through the longest climbs

Goodbye for now, but it ain't goodbye

'Cause in the end

Only love survives
