about

Inspired by the movie The World to Come

lyrics

From the day that we are born
We are to be, do as they say
Men decide, we must provide
What one expects of a good wife

Seasons, weather may differ
Every day just feels the same
Building a life in the wild
With little pride and less hope

Suddenly, you make my day
As uncommon as it may be
Counting down to the blessed time
I get to spend right by your side

Blushing at your hair and skin
Plunging deep into your eyes
Unable to speak my truth
Show you what’s inside my heart

Weeks of utter happiness
Pushing through the thickest fog
Monotony’s broken now
I shall start living at last

Astonishment and joy
You gave me
Astonishment and joy
You made me
Astonishment and joy
You and me

Words and rhymes pour my heart out
The secret love that we both share
Lips on skin like never before
Time can stop for all we care

Our minds and hearts can set us free
From the prisons of our homes
Though the storm keeps us apart
We will find each other again

Astonishment and joy
You gave me
Astonishment and joy
You made me
Astonishment and joy
You and me

Now you’ve gone without a word
Dread and worry fill my head
With waiting as my only friend
Finally a letter came

Your precious words keep me afloat
I am coming to your door
But cruel and unfair is our fate
The worst has happened, all is lost

You have suffered at his hands
I have now become my grief
There’s but one thing on my mind
Vengeance on he who caused you harm

Astonishment and joy
You gave me
Astonishment and joy
You made me
Astonishment and joy
You and me

In this life no good can come
We were doomed right from the start
Way ahead of our time
We pave the way for the world to come
