Bourbon Tabernacle Choir - Build Me a Box lyrics

Gonna build me a box where you can just love me baby Where you don't have to listen to what your next door neighbour or your mama or your papa or your best friend Gotta say about me gonna build me a box, gonna nail the lid down Gonna make it so dark in my box you'll stop Feeling when this world starts to turn us upside down This world's been turning us upside down Gonna plant me a seed, gonna plant it inside you It will grow 'til its limbs breathe green Tangleupreachdownwraparound like a cage to hide you Roots are gonna grow deep in the cold dark ground Hold you safe, hold you sound Won't really much matter how the wind cries 'Cause my love's gonna save you from those skies We'll make our own weather baby When I want rain man it'll come down Get down to just what matters; Time to think 'bout how you told Didn't take mama out of heaven, Didn't make daddy grow so old Now there gonna try to mark time on us Try to tell us this place is our tomb They can die all they want to sunshine This place is gonna be our womb Gonna build me a box where you can just love me Far away from imitators, no love imitators And there won't be anyone above me Gonna build me a box where it's peaceful and calm Where all you're gonna hear is music And your heart keeping time right to it As the storm rages on and when it's over and gone Gonna take it outside
