I built a levee to keep the flood away 'Cause preperations make a better day But I could be a lawyer I could be the on to set you free Girl I built the wind to keep the sky clear But I got blinded by the sun, and didn't find you here I could be a preacher And say a prayer to bring you home And I could be a wise man And write a book of what went wrong So I'll find me a river And I'll build you a boat And we'll sail there forever And we'll be holding on To these memories (Memories) Memories we share And sing the melodies (Melodies) Melodies of the fire here between us I wrote a song to keep my head straight 'Cause I knew this one wouldn't wait Yeah I am the writer This story goes the way I want And I am the biggest fool To think that I would find me some happiness So I'll find me a river And I'll build you a boat And we'll sail there forever And we'll be holding on To these memories (Memories) Memories we share And sing the melodies (Melodies) Melodies of the fire here between us One day, one day we're gonna float into oblivion On way, no way we're gonna make a finer deal No way, no way we're gonna rest until we sing a song One day, one day we're gonna show them this is real So I'll find me a river And I'll build you a boat And we'll sail there forever And we'll be holding on To these memories (Memories) Memories we share And ting the melodies (Melodies) Of the fire in here There's a fire here between us
