Wedding Song (There Is Love) for Aziraphale and Crowley

Summary:

Lyrics to Peter, Paul & Mary's "Wedding Song (There Is Love)", re-written for the Ineffable Husbands

Notes:

To the tune of Peter, Paul & Mary's "Wedding Song (There Is Love)"

The original version by Peter, Paul & Mary is on YouTube here.

The original lyrics are here.

There’s an instrumental (guitar and piano) version on YouTube here; the words work better with the music, so you might wish to listen as you read (start reading at 21 seconds, when the tune begins).

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

**

The earth will go on living in between the dark and light
Living flowing into life as day flows into night
The union of your spirits here is by the circle born
For the water and the flame for one another shall transform
There is Love
There is Love

Well, the drop shall leave the ocean and the spark shall leave the sun
They shall travel on to where the two shall be as one
As it was in the beginning, unto eternity
Each shall enfold the other, each set the other free,
And there’s Love
There is Love

Well then what’s to be the reason to substance new become?
Is it Love that brings you here, or Love that brings you home?
Whenever for Love of the world are gathered two or more
Believing in the generations never seen before
Oh, there’s Love
There is Love

Oh, the marriage of your spirits here is by the circle born
For the water and the flame for one another shall transform
There is Love
There is Love

**

Notes:

**

There is so much fire and water symbolism in the story. Aziraphale and Crowley - who is fire, and who is water? They’re both fire, both water, flowing into one another, finding home in each other, both transformed.

**

It’s all about circles.

Aziraphale and Crowley are a circle (and a yin/yang) (and a two-headed ouroboros).

The world is a circle.

Heaven and Hell want to break the circle. Heaven and Hell both want to impose an up-down hierarchy where one wins and the other loses.

Aziraphale and Crowley want the circle to continue.
