House Carpenter Lyrics


Our mistake was the love we made I didn't deliberate But I never meant you wrong No I didn't mean it
If you've ever lost a loved one I pray for you, I really do If you've ever lost a loved one I pray for
you...
'Cause there s a sad and lonely comfort In the hollow of your eyes But don't you let it take you over
'Cause it will eat you up inside
I heard you're married to a house carpenter And your love will never be mine...
If you're not breathing why am I Left alone in this ship If you're not breathing Why am I left alone?
With a sad and lonely comfort Of the hollow in your eyes But don't you let it take me under 'Cause it
will eat me up inside
I'm sure you're married to your house carpenter And your love will never be mine ... All the pain and
the way it was All of the shame and the hate, because I was in love with the way it was All that I do I
do for you
All the pain and the way it was All of the shame and the hate, because I was in love with the way it was
All that I do I do for you If you're not breathing Why am I? left alone in this shit. If you're not
breathing Why am I left alone?
With a sad and lonely comfort Of the hollow in your eyes But won't let it take me over 'Cause it will
eat me up inside

I'm sure you're buried with your house carpenter And your face I'll never see no more Your face I'll
never see no more Your face Your face Your face Your face...
With a sad and lonely comfort Of the hollow in your eyes But I won't let it take me under 'Cause it will
eat me up inside
Yeah I heard your married to a house carpenter And your love will never me mine No, your love will never
be mine...
(1 min.29 secs you hear rain then music starts up again then you hear womens voice say)
I love you so much

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Natalie Anne O'Shea Merchant (born October 26, 1963 in Jamestown, New York, U.S.) is a professional musician. She co-founded and fronted the band 10,000 Maniacs in 1981. Later, she went to college and then left the band in 1993 and started a successful solo career. Merchant plays the piano, produces and writes many of her songs.

Her debut solo album Tigerlily (1995) had three top-40 singles: 'Carnival', 'Jealousy' and 'Wonder'. This was followed in 1998 with her second solo album Ophelia, her third in 2001 with Motherland, and fourth in 2003 called 'The House Carpenter's Daughter'.

Merchant has sung alongside Tracy Chapman, Michael Stipe, David Byrne and Peter Gabriel. She has also collaborated with Billy Bragg a number of times, including the 1998 album Mermaid Avenue. Like Bragg, her work touches on social and political themes; she has been active in promoting a number of campaigning issues in both her songs and through the causes to which she lends her name.
