Craig Carnelia - The Mason lyrics

He builds a house With his hands Thirty years go by It stands It stands where nothing stood A house of stone The mason sleeps real good He does his work His workday flies Quittin' time's a big surprise And then it's one more stone To get just right It's always one more stone Before the night Every house he builds Every stone he lays It's not just makin' money And countin' off the days He builds a house With his hands A hundred years go by It stands It tells you who he was A life goes fast But the work a mason does It's made to last The work a mason does Nothing in this world lasts forever But with stone you're getting awful close It's made to last
