The Willow And The Builder - Teahouse Treehouse lyrics

rate me

Where we go and where we know

Helps us grow and grow

I set my sights on the willow tree

In the back of my backyard

I knew it wilted, so I stilted it

With wood that I had carved

I hammered nails and measured things

And built a sturdy floor

It took me six or seven days

Until it needed nothing more

Let's have tea up in my tree

And see the world below

There's playing cards

And jars of jelly beans

And candles all aglow

We've got a place up there up in the sky

And though it's really not that high

It's somewhere, it's somewhere to go

It's somewhere to go

I climbed up there with a beanbag chair

And I almost lost my grip

I threw it in and turned my chin

And there were her two lips

She said, "Are you alone?"

I nodded yes, and then she took my sleeve

She said, "This house was made for two"

And then fell in on top of me

The wood was strong, it held us both

We made the night away

And then with glasses raised

We toasted to the coming day

People come and people go

And sometimes I'm alone

I think it's funny how it took me

Just a week to build my home

She said before she left,

"I've spent a lifetime on the ground,

I never though of, never dreamed of,

What a magic place you found"

And I said,

"I don't find, it finds me

I combine magic things and you,

You were the missing piece"
