Flowing from laid back acoustic campfire groove to a driving crescendo of sound, but with almost not even realising the transitions, this track is composed by a true master. Love your work and can't wait to hear more from Lava Lakes!

VOWS
So, another big day
She makes sure that the caterers are on their way
She makes sure that her weekend is free from play
She puts her head down.
Laughing at the choice of food
She smiles and takes a plate by the pool
Keeping an eye on the bridesmaid and the groom
She puts the knife down
Oh my dear, you surround yourself with all that love
But you know my dear, for years I’ve been heading south
Do you get jealous when they say their vows?
Do you feel empty when the lights and the garter belts come down?
Promise me whatever came before
Won’t become a tragedy because of where we’ve come to
I know my dear you need a fair bit of cooling off
Well it’s cold down here so get yourself a moving truck.
Come on, let’s cut the cake
Confetti eyes light up, spaghetti faced children
Snap another photo don’t forget about the dreams
We put the brakes on.
You sang me Bright Eyes on the phone
Playing like the aisle song we’ve walked alone to
When everything’s on the table it’s naked and cruel
I hang my head down.
Oh my dear, you surround yourself with all that love
But you know my dear, for years I’ve been heading south
Do you get jealous when they say their vows?
Do you feel empty when the lights and the garter belts come down?
