One day you're gonna thank me
For the house that I built
You'll kiss all my fingers
And pull out all the splinters with your teeth
And sing me to sleep
In the house that I built
It was empty until
I cut you out of wilderness
(My desire line)
I carved you out with tenderness
(My desire line)
I ripped you from the stone and vine
(My desire line)
I burned the forest and the pine
To make you mine
One day you'll abandon all those wild weeds
You'll clean the dirt off of your skin
Pull me close to you and then
You'll say you love me
Please say you love me
I cut you out of wilderness
(My desire line)
I carved you out with tenderness
(My desire line)
I ripped you from the stone and vine
(My desire line)
I burned the forest and the pine
To make you mine
If we want it bad enough
We can dig the garden up
If we want it bad enough
We can dig the garden up
If we want it bad enough
We can dig the garden up
We can dig the garden up
If we want it bad enough
If we want it bad enough
We can dig the garden up
Weak is how I found you
You're getting weaker all the time
But I'm a real hard worker
I take what's mine
