about

15 year anniversary present for my wife

lyrics

A gentle tremor wakes me, I look out the window of the train
The golden hills of Burgundy, brighter in life than in paint
Where white and red are pseudonyms for Meursault or Beaujolais
This is better now that you are here

Side by side never mind the where
Up and down good and bad to share
Having holding even when I break
Losing you is more than I can bear
So don’t you disappear

Market in the morning, shouting from the street in the night
Cobblestones and Catalan, saffron threads and candlelight
Sudden crushing sickness that I don’t have the energy to fight
This is better now that you are here

A gentle tremor wakes me, I look out the window of the plane
The takeoffs and the landings, cruising altitude, champagne
Walking through the streets of Paris, Nouméa, Marseille
This is better because you are here
