(A Belated) Invite To Eternity - Stornoway[00:00:00]
It was late last night[00:00:33]
And all the band were sleeping[00:00:37]
It was late last night[00:00:40]
I was listening to[00:00:46]
To the generators humming[00:00:50]
To the tent-zipping drunk[00:00:53]
Quipping guy-rope tripping[00:00:56]
And in the gathering dew[00:01:12]
I was lucid as a floodlight[00:01:16]
I was thinking of you[00:01:19]
But now I'm back here before you[00:01:25]
You can see me shaking[00:01:29]
Cos in that moment I knew[00:01:31]
I just knew I just knew I just knew[00:01:35]
Forty seasons have flown[00:01:51]
Since I first sat down beside you[00:01:55]
In a crowd on our own[00:01:58]
And how one person could thrill me[00:02:04]
Occupy me and fulfill me[00:02:08]
I could never have known[00:02:11]
I could never have known[00:02:14]
How in the first of our autumns[00:02:17]
We'd be falling so steeply[00:02:21]
We could share so completely[00:02:24]
How in the third of our summers[00:02:30]
When you first tried to leave me[00:02:33]
You could cut me so deeply[00:02:37]
I could never have known[00:02:40]
And on my wilderness journeys[00:02:55]
With your compass still in me[00:02:57]
All the shelters were empty[00:03:01]
Through the longest of winters[00:03:04]
When I called you downriver[00:03:08]
But you gave me no answer[00:03:11]
And I feared for my mind[00:03:15]
Until the first signs of springtime[00:03:17]
You were sick and I saw you[00:03:24]
And how much you'd missed me[00:03:26]
Now in our eleventh autumn[00:03:31]
You are blonde from the summer[00:03:32]
And I'm back here before you[00:03:35]
And you see me shaking[00:03:39]
Will you go with me my love [00:04:04]
From here together[00:04:07]
From this quiet rented house[00:04:10]
Will you go with me my love [00:04:18]
To face together[00:04:23]
Every rise and every slow decline[00:04:25]
Will you go with me[00:04:35]
Through dream and fantasy [00:04:40]
Through the open fields[00:04:50]
And tangled valleys[00:04:56]
Will you go with me[00:05:04]
Through grief and ecstasy [00:05:13]
And every shade between[00:05:16]
The cold morning stars[00:05:27]
And the deep blue sea[00:05:34]
