Our life's built of tin cans and string
But the cornerstone laid is a
Wondrous and beautiful thing
Sure in the ground

And while the north wind has taken its toll
You have helped me to find my way
Back and to anchor my soul
Safe in the sound

Oh, you know me
Oh, and I know you
And I know that
We can see this through

I bragged of baring my bones
Said if we heard the howling
I'd run out to face it alone
To meet it half way

But I've still got badges to earn
So keep sifting my soul
'Cause I think that I'm starting to learn
To love you that way

Oh, you know me
Oh, and I know you
And I know that
We can see this through

And it's true that you could snap my neck
But I trust you'll save my life instead
'Cause our love is a loyalty sworn
If we hold to our hope
Then I know we can weather the storm
Whatever they say, come what may

Oh, you know me
Oh, and I know you
And I know that
We can see this through
