Cathedral Lyrics by Nolan Patton

Tambourine

2017

I'm building up a mountain
From the stones that have fallen downwind
Into this hollow where I'm found in where I'll, one day, make a place
I'm building a Cathedral
But through the storm I cannot see all
The rails that I will kneel on where my prayers will sound the same

I'm building up a wall
Among the trees that is not tall enough
To keep anyone at all from where they are meant to be
I'm looking through the gaps there
In the stones and in the cracks where
We will hold tight to the clay packed levy standing at the fray

I'm only stacking stones
On top of my father's bones
This field was never quite a home where anyone could find their rest
I'm sure that on this day
I have not built a way
That anyone would ever take who didn't believe they deserved less

I'm marching like a drum
To try to get this rooftop done
For years I was just one of them, but I never had the strength
So I'm searching like the dewfall
On the grass of the morning funeral
And I'm building a Cathedral should she ever pass this way
