[Verse 1]
When the night winds rustle the far away leaves
Rolling down the Kayona Valley through the cottonwood trees
And the wild river rises with the last season's rains
I wake in the darkness and I call your name

[Chorus]
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down
Baby, don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down

[Verse 2]
I awake and I know that sleep won't come soon
So I watch the headlights crawl up and down the wall of the lonesome room
Think of that club by the river where we danced on and on
Swore one love would last forevеr and you laughed on and on

[Chorus]
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our lovе
Don't back down
[Bridge]
Yeah, I wanna weep but I'm broke inside and my tears won't run
I wanna sleep but there ain't no dream and the sleep won't come

[Guitar Break]

[Verse 3]
Last night I stood on Black Mountain and looked out to the sea
Where the waters of Mystery River go rushing endlessly
And the love we swore would last as long as the waters roared on
I awoke in the darkness, it was gone, gone, gone

[Chorus]
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down
Baby, don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down
Honey, don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down
