The Willow And The Builder - Teahouse Treehouse lyrics

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 gla**es 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"
