lyrics

I am calling to remind you what you mean to me
You’re the one who calms the waves in all my stormy seas
Taking root inside my forest when I couldn’t even see the trees

Planting flag after flag in the frozen ground
All the times I ran for shelter it was you I found
Should have left so many times
But you never even turned around

It would take a hundred caravans to carry the weight of my love
It would take a hundred foot crane a hard hat and work gloves
It would take you

Maybe with time I can make it up to you
Sing you songs every time you’re feeling blue
And when you’re sick, I can nurse you back to you

It would take a hundred caravans to carry the weight of my love
It would take a hundred foot crane a hard hat and work gloves
You couldn’t get me to leave ya with a cavalry of sherman tanks
You couldn’t get me to trade you for absolutely anything
It would take you
