歌词
It was always a marriage
From the moment that you stepped into my hallway
Shy as anyone I've ever known
You choose what to believe in
In this flippant time there's no real reason not to
We wrote letters to each other as though addressing the ocean
That we stand before now you in my old cardigan
And I in your blue jeans
And the light turned golden on the distant headlands
And the ocean you and I on the other side of the world
Love it is no mystery it never has been
No not to me
I love because I see
But we never got better
We never got to talking
We never figured out the questions
We got good at walking walking the streets
When it was too hot to eat walking in step
We can't help it
You remember in June
You showed up one day
With a small leather suitcase swaying your walk
And you stayed on with me late into the evening
Into all the years that have passed on since then
With no certainty no agreement
More intimate than I could imagine
But with space I cannot fathom
Like a song with so much silence
Just like you in your defiance
You say you never questioned anything
You say you knew from the beginning
I ask for your hand in it
Some infinite understanding
But I don't know nothing of what I am asking
I have no idea of what it will entail
I asked for your hand like it was too intimate to ask for your mind
Or to count on kindness
Like I count only on your presence
Like I don't count on nothing else
Oh it was always a marriage
From the moment that you stepped into my hallway
Shy as anyone I'd every known curious and alone
