lyrics

The Rest of Our Days

Let this life flow over me
Carry myself out to sea
Take the wave that comes to me
And do not be afraid
I will write five hundred songs
Sing them to you all day long
Next to you where I belong
For the rest of my days

Promises are better kept
But only if they’re still alive
And all my tears are better wept
Than burning in my heart inside
Every word and offering
Every line I wrote for you
And would it be an awful thing
If I sang them all to you?

Let your life flow over me
Carry ourselves out to sea
Dream of all we’ve yet to be
And do not be afraid
Make a nation made of two
Celebrations old and new
A love that’s made in me and you
For the rest of our days
