Working movie - The Mason lyrics

<br>

SINGER<br>

He builds a house<br>

With his hands<br>

Thirty years go by<br>

It stands<br>

It stands where nothing stood<br>

A house of stone<br>

The mason sleeps real good<br>

<br>

He does his work<br>

His workday flies<br>

Quittin' time's a big surprise<br>

And then it's one more stone<br>

To get just right<br>

It's always one more stone<br>

Before the night<br>

<br>

Every house he builds<br>

Every stone he lays<br>

It's not just makin' money<br>

And countin' off the days<br>

<br>

He builds a house<br>

With his hands<br>

A hundred years go by<br>

It stands<br>

It tells you who he was<br>

A life goes fast<br>

But the work a mason does<br>

It's made to last<br>

The work a mason does<br>

<br>

ANTHONY<br>

(spoken) <br>

Nothing in this world lasts forever, <br>

But with stone you're getting awful close.<br>

<br>

SINGER<br>

(sung)<br>

It's made to last<br>

<br>

<br>
