Until the coast is clear

For Niall and Glenn

The climate here is pretty decent most of the time
It’s tranquil and calm and the sun occasionally shines
So you don’t mind the inevitable icy rain
You roll your eyes and you don’t complain

We have a special place to stay
To weather the storm when cold winds are gushing our way
When it chills our bones a little too cold
We have a safe haven to warm the soul

We make the signal and step in the boat
when the weather on land is rough
We’ve got each other and that’s way more than enough

And it’s hard to know sometimes
Whether to disarm or whether to fight
Whether to come right out or whether to hide
Whether to punch right back or whether to smile

And a thousand angry tornados
can’t shake or move me at all
not one inch away from your heart
We can’t be torn asunder by a thousand ignorant darts

And you’re my favourite place to lose myself
And you’re my favourite home in which to dwell

Let’s just hide out here in ourselves for a bit
You can shield the chill with your infamous wit
You have your king-size heart and all the things I love you for
And when the coast is clear we’ll sail back to shore

And even drenched in rain you’re the most beautiful sight
my heart’s ever been lucky enough to even see
Nothing around me could make any more sense to me
And you only need to make sense to me

And you’re my favourite place to lose myself
And you’re my favourite home in which to dwell
And you’re the strongest shoulder to lean on
And you’re the best smile in all of St John’s
