I Built a Cabin
I built a cabin in the wood.
I built a cabin in the wood with my own two hands.
And I saw that it was good.
I built a cabin with my own two hands in the wood.
And it was good.
I put a fireplace in it.
I put a fireplace in the cabin that I built with my own two hands.
And I saw that it was good.
I put a fireplace in the cabin
that I built in the wood.
I put a mantle on it.
I put a mantle on the fireplace in the cabin that I built
with my own two hands in the wood.
I put a mantle on the fireplace in the cabin
in the wood.
I put a picture frame on it.
I put a picture frame on the mantle on the fireplace in the cabin
that I built in the wood.
I put a picture frame on the mantle.
And it was good.
There’s a bridge to the city, but the toll’s under water.
There’s a bus in the station, but I know I’ll never bother.
There’s a wind song that’s new, but the deer have been mouthing the tune.
I burnt that cabin down in spring.
I burnt that cabin down in spring and all the love went up like tinder.
I heard it sing.
I burnt that cabin down in spring.
All they found
was a wedding ring.
