Johnny Cash - Woodcarver lyrics

rate me

Woodcarver carve me the house of my dreams

Carve me a valley, make me a stream

That runs through the mountains and under the trees

Woodcarver do this for me

Well I can Carve you a house out of oak out of pine

Make you a castle that sits on the Rhine

Even a cottage that no one can find

With a sun that forever will shine

But I can't make it real for you

it's only as real as the wood that I use

I can't make your dreams come true

that's something you'll have to do

Woodcarver carve me the love I can't find

Make him gentle, tender and kind

Carve him a heart that will always be mine

Woodcarver take your time

Well I can carve you a knight or a cowboy in jeans

Or maybe a sailor coming home from the sea

As hard as the oak or as soft as the pine

Just like the man you can't find

But I can't make it real for you

it's only as real as the wood that I use

I can't make your dreams come true

that's something you'll have to do

Woodcarver do you mind if I watch

Your hands are so smooth and your chisel so sharp

I promise that I will not get in your way

Woodcarver please let me stay

Well I can carve you your house

I can carve you your man

But I can give you much more

With these wood carving hands

No you won't be a bother

If you want to stay

Do you know what

I'm trying to say

I could make it real for you

I'm as real as the wood that I use

I could make your dreams come true

there's nothing more you'd have to do

O woodcarver make it come true

Woodcarver carve me the house of my dreams

Carve me a valley, make me a stream

That runs through the mountains and under the trees

Woodcarver do this for me
