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


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

O you know me

O 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

O you know me

O 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


O you know me
O and I know you
And I know that

We can see this through
