I'll build a house- of water I'm searching high- and low Underneath the waves Where they hit the rocky shore Out by the lighthouse
Heard nature say “I'm sorry- for stones and trees down below for those who tumble in Gods name to an early grave into the sea and foam like ships tossed in a storm” and I'm standing all alone out by the lighthouse
I'll build a house- of paper Covered with words I can read She had to teach me what to say And every year we stayed Out by the lighthouse
I'll build a house- so level With 7 walls- long and true The day we raised that roof up high Unto the fading light We sang the whole night through & no one needed proof & I could see the moon out by the lighthouse
