Year One
When all of the sadness that the world can throw
It just tightens air around us, brings us closer
But let's not start at ends, when the Montbel snow
Gave up to the sun that warmed us in the winter
In that pale sun, in words not understood
You took the breath out of my body, and you kept it
And where the world ends, cliffs in Pembrokeshire
Drinking whisky by the fire, never warmer
So what did we learn from the year past?
That one is not enough or not the last
So if you think this is your song
About one year of your life you are wrong
It's about years to come
It's about daughters yet born
It's about house by the sea
It's about you and me
And I hope that one day when these words you've forgot
You will stumble across my love song in the attic
And I'll be right there, in my favoured chair
And the passage of our lives will be remembered
So what did we learn from the year past?
That one is not enough or not the last
So if you think this is your song
About one year of your life you are wrong
It's about years to come
It's about daughters yet born
It's about house by the sea
It's about you and me
It just tightens air around us, brings us closer
But let's not start at ends, when the Montbel snow
Gave up to the sun that warmed us in the winter
In that pale sun, in words not understood
You took the breath out of my body, and you kept it
And where the world ends, cliffs in Pembrokeshire
Drinking whisky by the fire, never warmer
So what did we learn from the year past?
That one is not enough or not the last
So if you think this is your song
About one year of your life you are wrong
It's about years to come
It's about daughters yet born
It's about house by the sea
It's about you and me
And I hope that one day when these words you've forgot
You will stumble across my love song in the attic
And I'll be right there, in my favoured chair
And the passage of our lives will be remembered
So what did we learn from the year past?
That one is not enough or not the last
So if you think this is your song
About one year of your life you are wrong
It's about years to come
It's about daughters yet born
It's about house by the sea
It's about you and me
