[Soft Steel Guitar Swell]
[Verse 1 - Intimate, Acoustic]
I used to think the storm would never clear
Two broken paths that brought us both right here
After the tears and the worlds we left behind
You were the healing that I never thought I’d find
Five years ago you walked into my view
And every day since then, my heart belongs to you
You’re so handsome, gentle in your ways
The sweetest light across my darkest days
Considerate and loving, everything I need
The most wonderful romance that I could ever dream.
[Chorus - Big, Powerful, Rich Country Ballad]
From the red dust of the gas fields where you stand
To the quiet Kingsthorpe dirt where we lay down our plans
Eighteen days away, I count down every night
For those ten days back at home where everything feels right
We’ve built a sanctuary, a steady, sacred space
Flooded with forgiveness and a deep, enduring grace
Steven, you’re my anchor, my absolute truest love
Walking down life's fairways and forever.
[Instrumental Break - Steady Drumbeat and Acoustic Guitar]
[Verse 2 - Storytelling, Steady Rhythm]
Our home is loud, a beautifully blended crowd
Two handsome boys of mine who make me so damn proud
Your growing boy, and your daughter, wild and free
Sometimes she tests the lines of our reality
But we don’t pull away, we open up our arms
Unconditional devotion keeps her safe from harm
We hold the peace together, we never let it break
Building a haven from the choices that we make
Between my busy barber shop, the clipper click and hum
In the Toowoomba shopping centre till the day is done
We balance work and family, we keep the waters calm
Finding our rhythm in the shelter of your palm.
[Chorus - Triumphant, Uplifting, Full Band]
From the red dust of the gas fields where you stand
To the quiet Kingsthorpe dirt where we lay down our plans
Eighteen days away, I count down every night
For those ten days back at home where everything feels right
We’ve built a sanctuary, a steady, sacred space
Flooded with forgiveness and a deep, enduring grace
Steven, you’re my anchor, my absolute truest love
Walking down life's fairways and forever.
[Bridge - Dreamy, Building Intensity]
And when the weekend comes, we leave the world behind
Just a couple of golf clubs and some peace of mind
Walking the green grass, laughing through the game
Every single heartbeat whispers out your name
We talk about the future, the vision we can see
A big country property where we are meant to be
Horses on the borderline running wild and free
A place to rest our weary souls for eternity.
[Soaring Steel Guitar Solo]
[Triumphant Drum Fill]
[Outro - Emotional, Stripped Back To Acoustic Guitar]
Yeah, five years down, Steven, and my love has only grown
Deep in my soul, you are the greatest man I’ve known
Handsome, kind, and brilliant, my forever second chance
The beautiful finale to a long and broken dance
Eighteen days away, but your heart is always here
In our Kingsthorpe haven, keeping away the fear
I love you, Steven.
It’s just you and me...
Our fairways and forever.
