Story behind the song
This was originally written in 1997 but never got used because Andy couldn't play the rhythm to the original version. The lyrics were written at the time when my marriage was in turmoil. Jennie (my wife) and I, felt like we were growing apart and didn't really understand each other any more, so we decided to do something about it and so arranged to meet each other on a date in Beddgelert. I took the camper van along and parked up next to the school ground and park. The rest is in the lyrics (sorry kids!) and yes, 18 years later…we're still married…Oh…nearly forgot, I changed the rhythm of the tune.
Lyrics
I hear footsteps, across the yard, I hear the rain falling, it's coming down so hard, I hear your footsteps, across the yard, I hear the rain falling, it's coming down oh so hard, Hey you look just like a pretty mess, But you couldn't care less because you're laughing so hard. One, two, three, five-seven minutes more together Not much time to change our clothes, Or change the weather in the dark. Come inside do you want to dance? Or take a chance; go on the swings up in the park? Do you want to eat some ice cream? Want to watch some TV? Or do you want to fuck me? Or do you want to say goodbye tonight? Don't say goodnight. Do you want to touch things, do you want to go fast? Do you like singing? do you like romance? Do you like thunder? do you like lightning? Do you find it frightening? Exiting? Afraid of heights? Do you want to go higher? Fight elation? Feel desire? Couldn't get closer, couldn't get wilder, Couldn't get hotter, hearts on fire! High, high, fly by, Low, low, don't go High, high, on a swing in the park, We're getting low, low, shall we dance in the dark. High, high fly by, no no don't go
