about

The title and chorus came to me walking on Clerk St in Edinburgh then imagined a young farmhand dreaming what he could offer to the girl in the adjacent farm whose parents have a big house and lots of land in contrast to his lowly status

lyrics

The Story of My Life

If you’ll be my girl, I’ll be your boy
Under the skylight skin of this beautiful world
If you’ll be my kith, I’ll be your kin
Mark our names in gold on life’s pendulum

La, la, la, la, la, la, la,la

I’ll be your clown when you have cause to weep
And a comforter in your troubled sleep
I’ll be your map on the pilgrim roads
A poet and prophet when you’re lost for words

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
That fits the story of my life

I’ll be your sampan on the China seas
On the Russian steppes you can ride with me
I’ll be your crampons on the Matterhorn
And on the Mars excursion fly you safely home

La, la, la, la, la, la, la ,la

I’ll be the tick in the hallway clock
And the doodle do in the crowing cock
I’ll be the surf as it grabs the shore
And the clicking crab on the ocean floor

La, la, la, la, la , la, la, la

And our names on the door goes to show
And the lights from the shore let them know
You’ll fit the story of my life

We’ll sail our skiff on the Zuiderzee
And bungee jump from that bridge in Kyiv
Spin Maria Callas on the stereo
Then fly to Paris with Louis Bleriot

La, la, la, la,la,la,la,la

We’ll deep sea dive off a beach in Guam
And ask each other ‘Who do you think I am?’
Stargaze , moongaze then flip a dime
Heads says, ‘You love me’ tails says, ‘You’re mine’

La, la, la, la,la,la,la,la
That fits the story of my life

Alors, laisse la tranquille
Passée par ta ville
Elle n’est jamais venue
Oublié, oublié, oublié… le temps perdu
