The Wedding Song

from Heartbeat (Studio LP) by George Woods

/

lyrics

We were the passion and the fire atop the world when we were young
We carved a promise to each other in the trees that yearn for sun
That when its overcast and all is lost We'll be the light
to guide the other home and be the warmth at their bedside
We'll wrap these words around our fingers as the world turns on and on
As long as your here in my arms
As long as your here in my arms
As long as your here in my arms I will be fine
…
I drop the kids at school and life has slowed down since the wedding day
but then a call that afternoon said Jane had been bullied at school
And when we picked her up she was a' crying like a child
the gum stuck in her hair would not come loose though how we tried
and when her golden locks fell down like feathers on the kitchen floor, she said,
As Long as you're here in my arms
As Long as you're here in my arms
As Long as you're here in my arms I will be fine
…
I buried you beside our tree our signature remained from long ago
The earth reclaimed what was her due and left me alone
and when my darkness comes a sleep that never ever ends
my feet will lose the ground and just a body lies in bed
Ill find your face before the gates and Peter guarding heavens door
As long as your here in my arms I will be fine.
