| [00:39.04] |
I was nervous in the morning, in a car, a backseat driver |
| [00:42.85] |
With a handful of the chapters from the stories we were starting |
| [00:47.16] |
Every time you crossed the border where the water flows in cascades |
| [00:55.85] |
You were coming with your sister from your mother's in the valley |
| [00:59.97] |
Where the calls of rooks and ravens are the only thing you hear |
| [01:04.10] |
As you imagine yourself living with no phone or electricity |
| [01:08.48] |
|
| [01:12.82] |
We were headed to the outpost where our friends had all assembled |
| [01:17.45] |
To receive us in our glory, where the trees cling for their safety |
| [01:21.59] |
From the edge of the world, and the birds revolved around us |
| [01:25.78] |
As the sea swallowed our vows |
| [01:30.61] |
And after we were married we went to our white stone cottage |
| [01:34.36] |
And you took your simple dress off, and your tears fell in my eyes |
| [01:38.94] |
As we were overcome with wonder at the love around us |
| [01:44.45] |
You take me as i am and turn me into someone |
| [01:51.69] |
Who could step right off this rock and fly out across the ocean |
| [01:55.88] |
'Cos if i were to die today, then it wasn't all a waste |
| [02:04.62] |
You take me as i am, for all my faults and problems |
| [02:08.44] |
And you build me to withstand every gust and every gale |
| [02:12.69] |
And if i knew i was going to die, well i'd be satisfied |
| [02:19.75] |
'Cos we've shared this moment |
| [02:22.00] |
On the first night of our future we left the house in convoy |
| [02:26.01] |
As aurora in the corner started sweeping up the stars |
| [02:29.81] |
And we were talking all in whispers for no reason we could think of at all |
| [02:38.75] |
As we clambered through the bracken on our way up to the outcrop |
| [02:42.81] |
Where the wind shakes the gorse and the coast looks like a jigsaw piece |
| [02:47.50] |
The sun rose up around us, all neon pink and purple and gold |
| [02:58.07] |
|
| [03:13.32] |
And way down below the clifftop, the sea broke on the shoreline |
| [03:17.20] |
Without hearing itself roar, without knowing we were here |
| [03:21.46] |
'Cos it was only doing what it was supposed to, as |
| [03:29.63] |
You take me as i am and turn me into someone |
| [03:34.32] |
Who could step right off this rock and fly out across the ocean |
| [03:38.51] |
'Cos if i were to die today, then it wasn't all a waste |
| [03:47.01] |
You take me as i am, for all my faults and problems |
| [03:51.32] |
And you build me to withstand every gust and every gale |
| [03:55.26] |
And if i knew i was going to die, well i'd be satisfied |
| [04:02.58] |
'Cos we've shared this moment |
| [04:05.07] |
Oh, you take me as i am, for all my faults and problems |
| [04:25.56] |
And you build me to withstand every gust and every gale |
| [04:30.16] |
And if i knew that i was going to die, well i'd be satisfied |
| [04:42.05] |
Oh, because we've shared this moment |
| [04:47.99] |
Once you were a stranger, but i struggle to remember |
| [04:51.62] |
Now i picture us as children many years before i met you |
| [04:56.00] |
On the first day of my life, when the day broke like an empty page |
| [05:02.00] |
