 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

I was nervous in the morning
In a car of backseat drivers
With a handful of the stories
From the chapters we were starting
Every time I crossed the border
Where the water flows in cascades

You were coming with your sister
From your mother's in the valley
Where the caws of rooks and ravens
Are the only thing you hear
As you imagine yourself living with no
Phone or electricity

We were headed to the outpost
Where our friends had all assembled
To receive us in our glory
Where the trees lean for their safety
From the edge of the world
And the birds revolved around us
As the sea swallowed our vows

And after we were married
We went to our white stone cottage
And you took your simple dress off
And your tears fell in my eyes
As we were overcome with wonder at the love
Around us

You take me as I am
And you turn me into someone
Who could step right off this rock
And fly out across the ocean
Cause if I were to die today
Well then it wasn't all a waste

You take me as I am
For all my faults and problems
And you build me to withstand
Every gust and every gale
And if I knew I was going to die
Well, I'd be satisfied
Cause we'd shared this moment

On the first night of our future
We left the house in convoy
As aurora in the corner
Started sweeping up the stars
And we were talking all in whispers
For no reason we could think of at all

As we clambered through the bracken
On our way up to the outcrop
Where the wind shakes the gorse
And the coast looks like a jigsaw piece
The sun rose up around us
All neon pink and purple and gold
