[00:00.00]You Take Me As I Am - Stornoway
[00:39.04]I was nervous in the morning  in a car  a backseat driver
[00:42.85]With a handful of the chapters from the stories we were starting
[00:47.16]Every time you crossed the border where the water flows in cascades
[00:55.85]You were coming with your sister from your mother's in the valley
[00:59.97]Where the calls of rooks and ravens are the only thing you hear
[01:04.10]As you imagine yourself living with no phone or electricity
[01:08.47]
[01:12.81]We were headed to the outpost where our friends had all assembled
[01:17.44]To receive us in our glory  where the trees cling for their safety
[01:21.59]From the edge of the world  and the birds revolved around us
[01:25.77]As the sea swallowed our vows
[01:30.60]And after we were married we went to our white stone cottage
[01:34.35]And you took your simple dress off  and your tears fell in my eyes
[01:38.94]As we were overcome with wonder at the love around us
[01:44.45]You take me as i am and turn me into someone
[01:51.69]Who could step right off this rock and fly out across the ocean
[01:55.87]'Cos if i were to die today  then it wasn't all a waste
[02:04.62]You take me as i am  for all my faults and problems
[02:08.44]And you build me to withstand every gust and every gale
[02:12.68]And if i knew i was going to die  well i'd be satisfied
[02:19.75]'Cos we've shared this moment
[02:22.00]On the first night of our future we left the house in convoy
[02:26.00]As aurora in the corner started sweeping up the stars
[02:29.81]And we were talking all in whispers for no reason we could think of at all
[02:38.75]As we clambered through the bracken on our way up to the outcrop
[02:42.81]Where the wind shakes the gorse and the coast looks like a jigsaw piece
[02:47.50]The sun rose up around us  all neon pink and purple and gold
[02:58.06]
[03:13.31]And way down below the clifftop  the sea broke on the shoreline
[03:17.19]Without hearing itself roar  without knowing we were here
[03:21.46]'Cos it was only doing what it was supposed to  as
[03:29.63]You take me as i am and turn me into someone
[03:34.31]Who could step right off this rock and fly out across the ocean
[03:38.51]'Cos if i were to die today  then it wasn't all a waste
[03:47.01]You take me as i am  for all my faults and problems
[03:51.32]And you build me to withstand every gust and every gale
[03:55.26]And if i knew i was going to die  well i'd be satisfied
[04:02.57]'Cos we've shared this moment
[04:05.07]Oh  you take me as i am  for all my faults and problems
[04:25.56]And you build me to withstand every gust and every gale
[04:30.16]And if i knew that i was going to die  well i'd be satisfied
[04:42.05]Oh  because we've shared this moment
[04:47.99]Once you were a stranger  but i struggle to remember
[04:51.61]Now i picture us as children many years before i met you
[04:55.99]On the first day of my life  when the day broke like an empty page
