Seven Years, Three Rings

(mm-mm) Seven long winters across the divide

Counting the flight hours and miles far and wide

Screen in the dark

keeping your silhouette clear

Holding your name when I couldn't be near

All of those letters on late-night screens

Patiently holding the edges of dreams

We held our ground till the distance gave way

And promised forever on one golden day

Seven years waiting, three years at home

Waking beside you, no longer alone

Ring on our fingers and keys on the wall

Every slow mile was worth it all

(yeah, worth it all)

Now coffee brews quiet

in morning gray light

No boarding passes, no sleepless red-eye

Three years of quiet,

three years of grace

Finally sharing one sacred place

The wait tested everything we thought we knew

Only to prove that my harbor is you

No oceans between what we started to build

Every sweet promise fulfilled

Seven years waiting, three years at home

Waking beside you, no longer alone

Ring on our fingers and keys on the wall

Every slow mile was worth it all

(every mile, oh)

Seven years of patience

Three years as one

Our whole lifetime has just begun (mm-mm)
