"The Carpenter" lyrics

"The Carpenter"

Linen light, late to rise, green tea in the air
Brush away yesterday's saw dust from his sandy hair

Built a house on that easy feeling
In any room, you'll always hear it
All for her to move free
And dance on the hardwood, like only she could
His breath took, his heart shook

Their forevermore, carved in the cabinet drawer
With a tender coat of beech veneer
By his steady hands, held fast, we're built to last
Even as he lay our heads to rest
She will say, we owe it all to
The carpenter

Loyally loving thee no matter what it means
Colored brick, bit by bit, mending all the splitting seams

Built a house on that easy feeling
In any room, you'll always hear it
A song sung by the sea
To waltz on the water, serene surrender
Her breath took, the room shook

Their forevermore, carved in the cabinet drawer
With a tender coat of beech veneer
By his steady hands, held fast, we're built to last
Even as he lay our heads to rest
She will say, we owe it all to
The carpenter
