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

    This is directly from the CD jacket:

    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 halfway

    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
