Til the Day I Die

From Strange Weather (2023)

We were late for the service
It started at nine
Fucked up by the jet lag and last night’s box wine
My suit barely fit
But you said I looked fine
And you’d love me til the day I die
Old men with umbrellas were staring us down
As a 12 year old boy threw some dirt in the ground
I whispered a joke while I tried not to cry
And thought “I’ll love her til the day I die”
So life unwinds
There’s no fooling time
I’ll take every night that she sleeps at my side
And love her til the day I die
We were late for old age
But it suited us fine
I got used to the aches
And how old fingers don’t align
But I’d never let go and hoped you take it as a sign
That I’d love you til the day I die
So life unwinds
Failed to fool time
I’ll take every night that she sleeps at my side
And love her til the day I die
Now I can’t be late ‘cos I’m here all the time
Smiling through the morphine that drips down the line
And if heaven denies me, I don’t think I’ll mind
Cos I loved her til the day I died
