Song For Today – The Cinematic Orchestra & Patrick Watson – To Build A Home

27 juli 2013

I’ve heard this song last night while I was watching this dance movie ‘Step Up 4′ and I immediately wanted to know who was singing this song. The piano and the voice got to me right away which made the dancing scene so much more intense. It didn’t surprise me when I found out that it was a song sang by Patrick Watson.

I’ve had the pleasure to see Patrick Watson in concert a several times and he amazed me every time with his incredible way of presenting his songs to his audience. I hope you like the song as much as I do…

Note;  listen to the song with headphones on….that way you really get into it…enjoy…

Lyrics:

There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust
This is a place where I don’t feel alone

This is a place where I call my home

And I built a home
For you
For me

Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it’s time to leave and turn to dust

Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree that’s old as me
Branches were sewn by the colour of green
Ground had arose and passed its knees

By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
I held on as tightly as you held onto me

And I built a home
For you
For me

Until it disappeared
From me
From you

And now, it’s time to leave and turn to dust

Spread the love
