about

I almost didn't bother recording this - it felt too glib. But the lyrics hold up.

lyrics

So we’re clear,
So we’re doing alright.
So we’re doing fine
In a beautiful sky, and we’ll

Show all of the world. 
So we’re here,
So we’re out on our own
In the field where we met
Where not yet all the birds have flown,

And we would
Show all of the world
That a love unfurled,
Oh it’s quite something else.
Take it all back off the shelf and
Hold it up to the light.

So there you were
With a look in your eye,
Like you’d seen some thing in me
That would turn up all the lights

And you’d show all of the world.

And there’s a house,
With some wild meadow grass, and those
Thick old windows
With that warped sort of glass and they

Show all of the world

And a love unfurled —
Oh it’s quite something else,
Take it all back off the shelf
And hold it up to the light.

But slow way down.
Slow way down till you know me
And wait for me;
Wait for me to see what you see in me.

So you’re afraid, well honey,
I am too.
There’s a lot of things to run from
And a love to follow through,

But we’ll show all of the world
That a love unfurled,
Oh it’s quite something else.
Take it all back off the shelf and
Hold it up to the light.
