This is a shitty recording of a song that I wrote for MK and Jenny's wedding. The song needs work. Suggestions are welcome:

"An Anchor and Three Stars" 

You taught me all the parts
to be an anchor and three stars
(the images we ink
into our friends' and lovers' arms).

The view from we you leave
it never rests.
And all the loving birds
stare back into the nest
and take a breath.

Once in our life
our steps seem to coincide
freezing us in time.
Our flight protracts into a glide.

It follows naturally
that two falling bodies grow
into ivy helices
before the fall, before the snow
covers the leaves.

Once in our life
the walls come down
crushing all you knew.
And I will be standing next to you.
