about

I wrote this in the month or so before I married Shelley (1997). One of my very, very few public performances was when I sat at the piano on stage, with her by my side, at our wedding reception. Unfortunately, and regretfully, my social anxiety keeps me from performing in front of others. Maybe, when I grow up, I'll get over that.

lyrics

In a big wooden church, in a small steel town, at the edge of the sea
Dressed in a gown, and pressed in a suit, for all eyes to see
An occasion of hope, the opening scene, of life-long play
I made up my mind, no question this time, forever I’ll stay

Say you’ll marry me, say you will
I’ll move mountains to hold you
I’ll be your ’til the end of time
Feel my love all around you

July afternoon, she’s white as the moon, on the lakes of Bras d’Or
I’ve taken a bride, she’s here by my side, and I can’t want for more
It’s taken some time, some laughin’, some cryin’, but now I am sure
I’ll look in here eyes, I’ll giver her my heart, I’ll give her my soul

Say you’ll marry me, say you will
I’ll move mountains to hold you
I’ll be your ’til the end of time
Feel my love all around you

In some ancient language
Lost and long extinct
In songs of whales
Hidden in heiroglyphs I think
There is a word
Chiseled in stone and tattooed in ink
There is a word …
… Love

Say you’ll marry me, say you will
I’ll move mountains to hold you
I’ll be your ’til the end of time
Feel my love all around you
