    Spring it came upon us,
    Every insect filled the air
    Dropped their wings upon my brother,
    Cast their shadows on his hair
    If we follow where they're leading,
    We will surely come before
    Some unseen and wondrous magic
    Made of visions to explore
    Near the town where we were living
    Lay an old abandoned farm
    Every year we'd plant an orchid
    In the shelter of its arm
    To protect us from the madness
    Of the future still to come
    It will be like this forever
    It will keep us safe from harm
    Then they caught us in the summer
    Dressed in father's finest clothes
    You the hat he wore to market
    I the jacket filled with holes
    I've been searching all these hours
    For a hand as pale as bone
    That would keep the strongest sunlight
    And reflect the brightest stone
    Near the town where we were living
    Was a warm and fragrant smell
    Of that orchid we had planted
    Now a forest tall and well
    What a statue to our greatness
    What a story all will tell
    They'll remember us forever
    They'll remember where we fell
    This old dark machine, it shakes and it shudders
    Pulls to the left, then dies near the gutter
    But still in the road, the traffic is silent
    The people they stare, and then they turn violent
    If they should touch, the hem of your dress
    I would rise like a lion, strike out again
    The faithful they wait, the faithful they wait
    By the sign
    Near the town where we were living
    Came a loud and joyous sound
    As the earth and all her beauty
    Picked us up from off the ground
    Carried far across the mountain
    To a kingdom never bound
    We will live like this forever
    I will love you
    I will love you

    I love how this year if your name begins with 'Jam' you'll do just fine- see James Vincent McMorrow, James Blake, and Jamie Woon. All soulful, all exceptionally talented, all should get the recognition they deserve.

    I’ve known about this song for a long time now, and I still sing to myself the words “I will love you... I will love you... I will love you” and it makes me have hope.

    I've been such a huge nu-folk fan all my life, and I now realise that no-one - not Laura Marling, not Mumford & Sons, not Nikki Lane, not even Patrick Watson - can compare to this beautiful artist. Untouchable.

    Music has existed for so long its almost impossible to make a song that doesnt sound kind of similar to something else.
    Everyone that's calling this unoriginal needs to just shut up and enjoy this amazingly beautiful song.

      being intolerant to people believing in god is as much as idiotic as being intolerant to people who dont do so keep your insult´s to yourself, he didnt try to preach or so he just wanted to give people a good feeling. Im not Religious but people like liam are making me sick, using every opportunity to jump on people. So allthough im a non believer i do appreciate what you are trying to say with it and the gesture =)
