Granville Island

about

Granville Island is a gorgeous little spot in Vancouver, BC. This song is just a sweet song I wrote about an old couple I saw holding hands on a bench while I was exploring Granville Island a few years back. Love, sweetness, marriage, growing old together...all the things <3

lyrics

Verse 1
Meet me by the harbour by the shoreline
Meet me with a sweater and chamomile
Your hands are all creviced, your hair winter
But your eyes they hold stories of days younger

Chorus
When our love was like summer, summer days
Our love was like summer, summer days
When our love was like summer, summer days
Our love was like summer, summer days

Verse 2
Meet me with a lantern carved in a spoon
That's glazed by a potter and painted blue
Like that feather brooch that I borrowed from mamma
On our wedding day, for my wedding veil

Chorus
When our love was like summer, summer days
Our love was like summer, summer days
When our love was like summer, summer days
Our love was like summer, summer days

Bridge
When hospital rooms whisper of numbered days
And breath is a kite-tail that’ll soon get away
We will sit as the street musicians play our song
Of raspberry lovers, of days long
And when death comes like winter
Still our love will be summer
Yes our love is like summer

Chorus
Yes our love is like summer, summer days
Our love is like summer, summer days
Our love is like summer, summer days
Our love is like summer, summer days

End Tag
Our love is gelatos on Granville Island
Our love is the seagulls on the cobblestone
Our love is a ring ‘cause no man's an island
Our love is your knees on the cobblestone

Yes our love is like summer, summer days
Our love is like summer, summer days
Our love is like summer, summer days
Our love is like summer, summer days
