Under the Almond Tree

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a place where the ocean meets the shore Where the breeze carries whispers of something more An almond tree standing in the golden light Two souls finding shelter from the world that night The waves kept singing, the sky turned gold A story only the tide could hold [Chorus] You are my comfort, you are my ground You are the stillness when the world spins round In your arms I found where I belong You are my healing, you are my song [Verse 2] We climbed the mountain where the fortress stands Walked through the ruins with our hearts in our hands The Queen's old palace crumbling but still so strong Like love that holds when everything feels gone Haiti gave us more than we ever knew It gave me the moment I first saw you [Chorus] You are my comfort, you are my ground You are the stillness when the world spins round In your arms I found where I belong You are my healing, you are my song [Bridge] All in white, I looked into your eyes And time stood still beneath those Caribbean skies I promised you my love, and Jo, I'd do it again Every single year, every now and then [Verse 3] Jo, when you hold me, I remember it all The salt in the air, how the evening would fall You make me feel safe like you did from the start A fortress of your own built inside your heart Through every season, every joy, every storm Your love keeps me sheltered, keeps me warm [Chorus] You are my comfort, you are my ground You are the stillness when the world spins round In your arms I found where I belong Jo, you're my healing, you are my song [Outro] Under the almond tree, beside the sea You'll always be home to me
