wedding in finistère - jens lekman lyrics
[verse 1]
i was booked for a wedding on the coast of finistère
after the rehearsal i took a walk down to the harbor
they say, “this is where the world ends”
or maybe where it’s beginning
out on the pier sat the bride on the rail smoking
i wasn’t sure if she wanted to talk
but she nodded and waved me in
her eyes were on the horizon
i asked how she was feeling
[chorus]
she said, “like a five-year-old watching the ten-year-olds shoplifting
ten-year-old watching the fifteen-year-olds french kissing
fifteen-year-old watching the twenty-year-olds chain-smoking
twenty-year-old watching the thirty-year-olds vanishing”
[verse 2]
is this where the world ends?
or is it where it’s beginning?
you open one door to find all the other doors closing
i said, “marry and regret it
don’t marry, regret it too
whether you marry or you don’t
either way you’ll wish you hadn’t
[pre-chorus]
we laughed and she dried a tear
we walked back to the town front
and later that night i sang “you are the light”
we all danced and got drunk
[chorus]
i felt like a five-year-old watching the ten-year-olds shoplifting
ten-year-old watching the fifteen-year-olds french kissing
fifteen-year-old watching the twenty-year-olds chain-smoking
twenty-year-old watching the thirty-year-olds vanishing
[bridge]
oh, please, distract me
from every life unlived
every path i haven’t taken
the heart’s still a little kid
[chorus]
a scared little five-year-old watching the ten-year-olds shoplifting
ten-year-old watching the fifteen-year-olds french kissing
fifteen-year-old watching the twenty-year-olds chain-smoking
twenty-year-old watching the thirty-year-olds
[outro]
five-year-old watching the ten-year-olds shoplifting
ten-year-old watching the fifteen-year-olds french kissing
fifteen-year-old watching the twenty-year-olds chain-smoking
twenty-year-old watching the thirty-year-olds vanishing
