All the Years Lyrics
I was sitting on a rock, just
waiting for a key
to sleep inside the house
of old serenity
So I climbed onto your altar
begged, please don't let me falter,
we'll put our oaths at stake
in a heaven that all icicles make.
All my devotion,
compelled by an ocean,
of all the years to come
of all the years to come
So we'll work until the night is quite
what once all our dreams were like;
doing all the housework, returning all the
schoolbooks, for good
Let's go on pretending that the light
is neverending -
we still have the summers
to be good to one another, yay hey

i love this song. one of my favorites from the cd.
I'm with all y'all on this. Best song. This song is located in the very center of the album, literally and figuratively. The whole album is about falling in love, and these lyrics are the most explicit- "All my devotion, compelled by an ocean, of all the years to come" This, and the heralding of "wedding bells" (track one) are also explicit in that the album is about marriage. Many of the songs on the album are deleriously happy and imply intimacy and togetherness. What a beautiful season this was for beach house.

This is possibly my favorite song in the entire devotion album.
Sooo playing this song at my wedding. Hm, actually I'm from the future. This song HAS played at my wedding!
