Under the Oak - Bring Me a Carpenter Lyrics

Bring me a carpenter, wise and strong
To pick up my pieces and mend what is wrong
Bring me a bird to escort me 'or
'Or the rocks and the sea and the shore
Hearts are on fire
Oh hearts are breaking down
Hope it is shaken
But oh, it's all around

Bring me a forest with a canopy wide
Fall down in deep, so my heart, I can hide
Bring me a blindfold, for they mustn't see
All the beauty and the darkness that comes out of me
Make me an island with a white, rocky shore
Wild and alone, but safe from the war
Safe from the war
Hearts are on fire
Oh hearts are breaking down
Hope it is shaken
But oh, it's all around

Bring me a clearness and a rest for these bones
And my soul
I'm afraid I'm alone
