The Builder Songtext
von Violet Road

I built a levee to keep the flood away
′Cause preparations make a better day
But I could be a lawyer, I could be the one 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, I′d say a prayer to bring you home
And I could be a wise man, and write the 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 we share, sing the melodies, melodies, melodies
Of the fire here between us
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 we share, sing the melodies, melodies, melodies
Of the fire here between us

One day, one day we're gonna float into oblivion
No 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 that 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 we share, sing the melodies, melodies
Of the fire in here, yeah

Oh yeah
There's a fire here between us
A fire here between us
There′s a fire here between us
A fire here between us, ooh
There's a fire here between us
