about

A song written by Annelies Vanherck, my now wife, and I; to celebrate our wedding and to reminisce on the times we have already shared and those still to come.

lyrics

I found your locket in a drawer today,
Spilling pictures of those early days.
Seaside songs and forest glances,
Thrilling city nights and age-old moonlit dances.

Followed nights where home unravelled
Her locket set to English time
All those long and lonely travels,
‘till quiet footsteps on the bedroom floor

Hold me close,
Closer still.

A wonder of stars blankets the sky,
The moon rose red into the night.
The evening sighs its final goodbye.
Here in our arms a rooftop sunrise.

Now come alarm or dewy, golden sunrise.
We don’t have to face the morning alone.
As we spy a pair of magpies
Life was nothing like this,
Life was nothing like this on my own.

Followed days where life unravelled
We’re no longer keeping time.
From all that dark and lonely waiting,
to a love, a love that reflects the light.

Hold me close,
Closer still.

A wonder of stars blankets the sky,
The moon rose red into the night.
The evening sighs its final goodbye.
Here in our arms a rooftop sunrise.

One for sorrow, Two For Joy.
Three for a wedding.
Seven for a secret never to be told.
Eight for a kiss, Nine for a wish.
Ten for, this bird you'll never miss.

A wonder of stars blankets the sky,
The moon rose red into the night.
The evening sighs its final goodbye.
Here in our arms a rooftop sunrise.

A wonder of stars blankets the sky,
The moon rose red into the night.
The evening sighs its final goodbye.
Here in our arms a rooftop sunrise.
