Year One Lyrics

When all of the sadness that the world can throw

It just tightens air around us, brings us closer

But let’s not start at ends, when the Montbel snow

Gave up to the sun that warmed us in the winter

In that pale sun, in words not understood

You took the breath out of my body, and you kept it

And where the world ends, cliffs in Pembrokeshire

Drinking whisky by the fire, never warmer

So what did we learn from the year past?

That one is not enough or not the last

So if you think this is your song

About one year of your life you are wrong

It’s about years to come

It’s about daughters yet born

It’s about house by the sea

It’s about you and me

And I hope that one day when these words you’ve forgot

You will stumble across my love song in the attic

And I’ll be right there, in my favoured chair

And the passage of our lives will be remembered

So what did we learn from the year past?

That one is not enough or not the last

So if you think this is your song

About one year of your life you are wrong

It’s about years to come

It’s about daughters yet born

It’s about house by the sea

It’s about you and me
