lyrics

Build me a body from tree and bone,
from metal and stone, so I can rest.
Craft me a safe ship from your own hand,
with your full heart, your love and care.

Build me a body from tree and bone,
from metal and stone, so I can breathe.
I will, if I can learn how. I'll build your form,
breathe in life and love to this still heart.
Breathe in life and love to this dead heart.

Build me a body from tree and bone,
from metal and stone, so I can fly.
I will build your boat. With your hands in mine
and the space and time to make it real,
with sweat and tears to make it real.

Build me a body from tree and bone,
from metal and stone, so I can rest.
