From the recording Blossom Outside
A Vince Clarke style 1980s synth driven love song to my wife, Juliet.
Lyrics
All Things Considered
In the race
From the cradle to the grave
There isn’t enough time
To visit every destination
On this green earth
But just like Gulliver on his travels
The corners of the world I have seen
Many more locations
Of which I can only dream
All things considered
The life I have lived and
The places that I have seen
Events I witnessed
What made the difference?
To the beauty of the world
Was you
Of course,
I would like to
Travel more to
Distant places
Marvel at every wonder
Of the world
Faraway spaces
But just like Phileas Fogg
Traversing foreign shores
Once bitten, you’re smitten
You just want
You just want love
All things considered
The life I have lived and
The places that I have seen
Events I witnessed
What made the difference?
To the beauty of the world
Was you
Love is remarkable for the perspective it brings
Love gives the world a whole new meaning
Dimension
All things considered
The life I have lived and
The places I have seen
Events I witnessed
What made the difference?
To the beauty of the world
Was you
All things considered
All things considered
