about

Inspired by The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry, by Rachel Joyce.

lyrics

It was on that fateful day you saw me dancing in the bar
Your eyes caught mine and so I came and whispered in your ear
I hadn’t thought of what to say or what you thought of me But it seemed to go pretty well and we left early
Move on now seven months
and we were married by the shore With the two of us together
we never wanted more
I’ll get a job to feed us
and a home to keep us warm
And in a year or so I think our children will be born.
So onwards seven years
and our little boy is ve
I used to think I’d save him but at least he’s still alive
We’ll have our ups and downs but I know our love will win So I’ll never leave this journey, not even at the end.
Fast forward 20 years
and I’ll have been a lucky man
Our children will have grown
and left the house back in our hands We’ll grow old by the seaside
and we’ll drink tea in the car
And I picture us beneath a grave,
in each others arms.
But now I catch myself as I am dancing in the bar
A little over-thinking,
and perhaps a stage too far
I’ll just enjoy the moment,
any more and I would be
Too scared to dance like a fool, and you’d never see me
