We're building a house Half a block down And I still wonder why I sit in the dark Listening to sounds The hammers pounding in nails And then I hear birds And I go to bed I pull the covers to my eyes They've been building our house For a whole month And soon we'll move in Sleeping, eating, loving Moving around But now it doesn't feel quite right You've been a fool And so have I But come and be my wife And let us try To make sense of life Before we die We'll do the best we know Tear down our house And make our garden grow And make our garden grow And make our garden grow And make our garden grow
