Future Bride Lyrics by David Gray

Dear Life

2025

[Verse 1]
\nSo I ran but still arrived too late
\nPushed by duty, pulled by fate
\nHeart's fixings strained to take the weight
\nOf what had been so long denied
\nThe future bride
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nGreat current swept me out to sea
\nFirm footings fell away from me
\nWell, I was drowning in my own sincerity
\nDreaming she'd pluck me from the tide
\nThe future bride
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nAnd training our optics
\nOn the faintest of objects
\nAnd weighing our prospects
\nConcerning all aspects
\nChanging up tactics
\nWhen she's up to her old tricks
\nMaking up storiеs that don't scan at all
\n
\n[Verse 3]
\nSo some to fire and some to dust
\nAnd somе to everything that must
\nAnd back up the hill like Sisyphus
\nTowards that quickening of the light
\nThe future bride, yeah
\n
\n[Interlude]
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nAnd training our optics
\nOn the faintest of objects
\nAnd weighing our prospects
\nConcerning all aspects
\nChanging our tactics
\nWhen she's up to her old tricks
\nMaking up stories that don't scan at all
\n
\n[Verse 4]
\nSome say that hope is just a bluff
\nLike candlelight to draw the moth
\nThat our best is never good enough
\nBut one look tells me she don't buy it
\nThe future bride, yeah
\n
\n[Verse 5]
\nBetween Pegasus and Cassiopeia
\nMore stars than trees in Canada
\nAnd amidst them pale Andromeda
\nWith her arms stretched open wide
\nThe future bride\n\n
