lyrics

There you were pink turban in your hair
Laughing in Irish arms carving up the air
I was ¾ full and without a care
Who can say what made me look your way
Or how we knew exactly what to say
And who could know we’d be standing here today?

Now we’ve said “I do” and I will and I won’t say no
You know I love you want to hold you and not let go

Waiting at the station for the early Gippsland train
Through the window I waited for the smoke stacks stain
Then I’d see you waving kids called my name
Such sadness brought you across the sea
I bore witness to the power of family
And still somehow there was room enough for me

It’s times such as these you find if you’ll stand or fall
For love I bit my tongue and slept with billiard balls

From the Westgate bridge the power station glows
Down in Farm St the Friday wine club flowed
The four of us Shane McGowan and Lenny Cohen
In Mazza’s yard the garden fills with blooms
Up the country we yarn in wood fired rooms
In steaming hotels our theories bump and fume

It’s strikes me now and then about the way love grows
And how it’s fed by the love of friends we know

You know my darkness you’ve seen me break and cry
Lost and yearning alone beneath the sky
You sometimes call this stupid I guess that’s no lie
I’ve seen your weakness I’ve seen your doubts run wild
I’ve stood back gasping at your anger and your guile
I sometimes think I’ll give an inch and then you take a mile

This is no fairy tale we’re no fresh-faced teens
But with you I still find the wonder to believe

Sometimes I’m talking when I stop and realise
I’m not quite certain if the story’s yours or mine
Just where we start and end is no clear cut line
Now here we are and though it feels kind of strange
There’s no one else with whom I’d choose to play this game
I feel your eyes upon me I hear you speak my name

Now we’ve said I do and I will and I won’t say no
You know I love you want to hold you and not let go
