Fran Healy - "As It Comes"

Fran Healy made his name as the main man behind Scottish band 'Travis' and after six albums with Travis, he released his debut solo album 'Wreckorder' in 2010. I know most people would expect another Travis like album and maybe it is. However, when I first heard "As It Comes" it certainly left a lasting impression on me and I never would have guessed it was Fran Healy, or Travis. "As It Comes" is about an old couple in their 80's and the expression of his love to her... but not until it is too late.



"As It Comes" Lyrics

We used to look at each other
But now we look at the past
We used to go out for dinner
And feed the ducks in the park
You say that I could be thinner
I say retract that remark
And I'm loving you each day
As it comes
I'll never let you be lonely
As long as you're by my side
You say you'd leave me if only
Another tear in the eye
Another funeral parlour
I'll have to get a new tie
And I'm loving you each day
As it comes
Time has come
Time has come and gone
And all I've done comes undone
Done
Da-da-done
As I lie here beside you
With Jack Frost in the air
You look like an angel
With that net in your hair
I kiss you so softly
But you're no longer there
Now I'm taking every day
As it comes
