I do try to build a place
That by and by is like your face
I do try to build a place
That by and by is like your face
What do?
What day?
What can you or I say
That crickets and birdsong
Don’t sing night and day?
A long lover’s song
Day to night
Hear it play
A song loved so long
Has just carried me away
I do try to build a place
That by and by is like your face
Stay to lay in our quiet bed
Day by day you rest my head
From there to there
Feel my hands in your hair
This table, this chair
And the lamps are aware
Birds do have words for
This kind of a nest
We’ve heard songbirds
At our home sing it best
Cut the windows into doors
Change the ceilings and the floors
Love you, baby, more and more
I do try to build a place
That by and by is like your face
What do? What day?
What can you or I say
That crickets and birdsong
Don’t sing night and day?
Birds do have words for
This kind of a nest
We’ve heard songbirds
At our home sing it best
I do try to build a place
That by and by is like your face
Just to trust your cheek’s soft skin
I must just have soaked you in
I like your face
