|
Two centuries since |
|
I first saw you weave like a dancer around my heart |
|
You grew wild when it rained |
|
I dug deep into the slates so we'd never be apart |
|
You, you always stay by me |
|
You, you wander but never leave |
|
And I'm the one who watches over you |
|
That's what |
|
I was built to do |
|
Laid the track |
|
Poured the streets |
|
Towers of glass and concrete |
|
In silence, you watched what |
|
I became You lifted me up |
|
Said I'd stand at the top and all the world would know my name |
|
You, you always stay by me |
|
You, you wander but never leave |
|
And I'm the one who watches over you |
|
That's what |
|
I was built to do |
|
Oh Love don't you weep |
|
You know we cannot keep |
|
This moment here together |
|
If you could only see |
|
The beauty that |
|
I see We'd go on forever |
|
And as I turn to rust |
|
Start to crack |
|
Betray us |
|
You, you haven't aged a day |
|
When it's time for me to go |
|
Promise me that you'll flow until the ocean |
|
Washes you away |
|
You, you always stay by me |
|
You, you wander but never leave |
|
And I'm the one who watches over you |
|
I'm the one who watches over you |
|
I'm the one who watches over you |
|
That's what |
|
I was built to do |
