Stillwater - Hands Like Houses

Piling stones to guide the sea,

To say we stopped the tide, but we

We never did (did we)

We never did (did we)

We build as only children know to build

We made a way where there’s a will

No slowing down or standing still

Innocent and reckless

How did we get so old and never notice

How did we gain the world and lose the moment

Rise and fall, the tide surrounds us

And drowns us all

Finding cracks in our intent

We can’t stop the water from rushing in

We can’t stop the walls collapsing in

The rocks give to rain and to ruin again

We build as only children know to build

We made a way where there’s a will

Innocent and reckless

How did we get so old and never notice

How did we gain the world and lose the moment

Rise and fall, the tide surrounds us

And drowns us all

Watching the years, all washed away

Scattered stones all that remains

A kingdom swallowed by the sea

Innocent and reckless

Innocent and reckless

How did we get so old and never notice

How did we gain the world and lose the moment

Rise and fall, the tide surrounds us

And drowns us all

How did we get so old and never notice

How did we gain the world and lose the moment

Rise and fall, the tide surrounds us

And guides us all
