Stornoway - You Take Me as I Am - Live текст песни

Исполнитель: Stornoway

альбом: The Farewell Show Live at New Theatre, Oxford


I was nervous in the morning, in a car, a backseat driver
With a handful of the stories
From the chapters from the stories 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 calls 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 cling 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 turn me into someone
Who could step right off this rock and fly out across the ocean
'Cos if I were to die today, 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
'Cos we've 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
And way down below the clifftop, the sea broke on the shoreline
Without hearing itself roar, without knowing we were here
'Cos it was only doing what it was supposed to
As you take me as I am and turn me into someone
Who could step right off this rock and fly out across the ocean
'Cos if i were to die today, 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
'Cos we've shared this moment
Oh, 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 that i was going to die, well i'd be satisfied
Oh, because we've shared this moment
Once you were a stranger, but i struggle to remember
Now i picture us as children many years before i met you
On the first day of my life, when the day broke like an empty page
Thank you
So another thing it wouldnt be a Stornoway gig without would be facts
I'd like to share some facts
This time I thought being sort of self-centered about it all
I'd share some Stornoway facts with you
The fact that we have stopped at 18 Gregg's stores on this tour
And we've consumed I think 90 different pasties
And approximately 64 caramel custard doughnuts
Stornoway facts, we have had the
Dubious pleasure I suppose of supporting
*Various stores*
Let me see, we've played in Camper Vans
We've played in prisons
We've played in slaughter houses
We've played in sheds
We've played alongside live geese and a paragon falcon
And we've had a rabbit invade the stage on one gig
Hello, rabbit owners, yes
At their house
What was your rabbit's name again? (Bongo!)
I think everyone heard that
Okay, this is a song called A Belated Invite To Eternity
