The Cinematic Orchestra Feat. Patrick Watson – To Build A Home Lyrics

There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust
This is a place where I don’t feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home

And I built a home
For you
For me
Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it’s time to leave and turn to dust

Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree as old as me
Branches were sewn by the colour of green
Ground had arose and passed its knees
By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world

When the gust came around to blow me down
Held on as tightly as you held on to me
Held on as tightly as you held on to me

And I built a home
For you
For me
Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it’s time to leave and turn to dust
