The Builder

I built a levee to keep the flood away
'cause preperations make a better day
But I could be a lawyer
I could be the on to set you free
Girl
I built the wind to keep the sky clear
But I got blinded by the sun, and didn’t find you here
I could be a preacher
And say a prayer to bring you home
And I could be a wise man
And write a book of what went wrong
So I’ll find me a river
And I’ll build you a boat
And we’ll sail there forever
And we’ll be holding on
To these memories
(memories)
Memories we share
And sing the melodies
(melodies)
Melodies of the fire here between us
I wrote a song to keep my head straight
'cause I knew this one wouldn’t wait
Yeah I am the writer
This story goes the way I want
And I am the biggest fool
To think that I would find me some happiness
So I’ll find me a river
And I’ll build you a boat
And we’ll sail there forever
And we’ll be holding on
To these memories
(memories)
Memories we share
And sing the melodies
(melodies)
Melodies of the fire here between us
One day, one day we’re gonna float into oblivion
On way, no way we’re gonna make a finer deal
No way, no way we’re gonna rest until we sing a song
One day, one day we’re gonna show them this is real
So I’ll find me a river
And I’ll build you a boat
And we’ll sail there forever
And we’ll be holding on
To these memories
(memories)
Memories we share
And ting the melodies
(melodies)
Of the fire in here
There’s a fire here between us
