about

A song about Holy Matrimony, and cheap dates, and browsing guitars on reverb.com, and that elderly woman who walks to the memory care facility every afternoon to sit with her husband who can’t remember her name. There’s a joy in limitation.

lyrics

V1:
We bought camping chairs
Cause it don’t take much
I could sit in the shade
Of your steady love
You're a book to read
Or a hand to touch
Or a perfect day
With the clouds above

V2:
You've got one guitar
I can't get enough
But you've been reminding me
Of the better stuff
You say we've got it all
And we've got enough
Hold on to gratitude
And the people you love cause

C:
There’s a joy in limitation
But it’s a choice you have to make
Sometimes love’s an obligation
And there’s a joy in limitation

B:
It’s been ages since they married
But she still visits every day
Brings all the memories she can carry
To remind him, when he’s afraid, that

C:

V3:
We bought golden bands
Cause it don’t take much
Just these earnest vows
And our steady love
Now I take your hand
With a timid touch
Cloud of witnesses
And the angels above

C:
