Jens Lekman - Wedding In Finistere

I was booked for a wedding
on the coast of Finistere
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
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
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
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
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
Oh please distract me
From every life unlived
Every path I haven't taken
The heart's still a little kid
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
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
