about

Taken from the 'Happy/Sad' demo sessions. A collection of songs originally recorded in 2011 and released as an album in 2015.

lyrics

The winds will stop blowing, poets put down their pens,
The miners cease mining, for lovers and friends.
And I will place you, on a raspberry throne,
And I’ll sing to the world,
When I marry my girl.

The seekers will stop seeing, woods for the trees,
Worriers won’t worry, doubters believe.
In something you can feel, to the backs of your knees,
A new day will unfurl,
When I marry my girl.

All the tears and the ex-loves, will be buried in the back yard,
Of our house overlooking, the oceans and stars.
And they’ll be no price, of sorrow or pain,
Just diamonds an pearls,
When I marry my girl.

The fearful will be fearless, the wild will not be tamed,
The gods will speak a language, that need not be explained.
And the heavens will waver, rain come pouring down,
The garden will grow,
When I marry my girl.

The people they will revel, a new king will be crowned,
A queen to stand beside him, like the mountain unbowed.
And I’d write a song, a thousand verses long,
That I’d sing to the world,
When I marry my girl.
