Housewarming Lyrics by Fred Small

Love’s Gonna Carry Us

0

[Verse 1]
Brick and wood, mortar and plane
Labor's love, a little faith
You can see the structure taking form
Ancient tools, a new design
Taking care, taking time
We've seen so many houses fall before

[Chorus]
We are building a house growing tall before our eyes
Stone on stone watch it rise
We are building a house with our hands, with our songs
May it stand as long as our lives

[Verse 2]
As we tinker with the plans
Gentle friends lend their hands
Laying down a sturdy hardwood floor
For the future from the past
Room to change, built to last
Come thе snows of winter we'll be warm

[Chorus]
Wе are building a house growing tall before our eyes
Stone on stone watch it rise
We are building a house with our hands, with our songs
May it stand as long as our lives

[Bridge]
And sometimes you'll need a vacation
I'll need one too
Sunning on the sand, running in a blinding rain
After the recreation
We can sleep in our own bed once again

[Verse 3]
That easy chair you've always known
Photographs from long ago
Thanksgiving Day parade moving in
So many books upon the shelves
So much more to teach ourselves
Under this roof we shall begin

[Chorus]
We are building a house growing tall before our eyes
Stone on stone watch it rise
We are building a house with our hands, with our songs
May it stand as long as our lives
May it stand as long as our lives
