You Take Me as I Am (Live) Song Lyrics

I was nervous in the morning, in a car, a backseat driver
With a handful of the stories
From the chapters from the stories we were starting
Every time I crossed the border where the water flows in cascades
You were coming with your sister from your mother's in the valley
Where the calls of rooks and ravens are the only thing you hear
As you imagine yourself living with no phone or electricity

We were headed to the outpost where our friends had all assembled
To receive us in our glory, where the trees cling for their safety
From the edge of the world, and the birds revolved around us
As the sea swallowed our vows
And after we were married we went to our white stone cottage
And you took your simple dress off, and your tears fell in my eyes
As we were overcome with wonder at the love around us

You take me as I am and turn me into someone
Who could step right off this rock and fly out across the ocean
'Cos if I were to die today, then it wasn't all a waste
You take me as I am, for all my faults and problems
And you build me to withstand every gust and every gale
And if I knew I was going to die, well I'd be satisfied
'Cos we've shared this moment

On the first night of our future we left the house in convoy
