[00:00.00]Song For A Carpenter (Album Version) - Dan Fogelberg
[00:14.30]Oh he makes his life as a carpenter
[00:17.60]He works his hands in wood
[00:20.40]And he lives the way his granddad
[00:23.56]Might have liked and understood
[00:27.09]He goes to work each morning
[00:29.87]And he comes home every night
[00:33.27]And the time that passes in between
[00:36.57]He knows has been spent right
[00:44.28]A child in South Ohio
[00:47.44]A man in Northern Maine
[00:50.82]He took his dream to the end of the world
[00:53.76]And he brought it back again
[00:56.55]Here he met his sweet Rebekah
[00:59.62]Here he came to make his stand
[01:02.82]In a house he built in the piny woods
[01:06.28]Where the ocean meets the land
[01:08.70]And it's hey ho steady as you go
[01:12.52]Sing for the love of the land
[01:15.65]Hey ho blessed is the home
[01:18.80]Born of the carpenter's hand
[01:26.46]Oh his hair is rough and curly
[01:29.35]And his legs they reach the ground
[01:32.55]And his eyes are full of living
[01:35.43]And his back is broad and brown
[01:38.76]And his heart is sure and stubborn
[01:42.35]And his pride's too strong to bend
[01:45.08]And somewhere in his life
[01:47.92]He found the time to be my friend
[01:51.45]And it's hey ho steady as you go
[01:54.94]Sing for the love of the land
[01:58.03]Hey ho blessed is the home
[02:01.21]Born of the carpenter's hand
[02:15.02]Oh he loves his sweet Rebekah
[02:18.35]He'll love her 'til his death
[02:21.35]And she gave to him a bonny son
[02:24.68]And they named the child Seth
[02:28.06]And now they are a family
[02:30.79]A community of three
[02:34.21]Living in the piny woods
[02:37.27]Where the soil meets the sea
[02:39.85]And it's hey ho steady as you go
[02:43.66]Sing for the love of the land
[02:46.82]Hey ho blessed is the home
[02:49.92]Born of the carpenter's hand
[02:53.11]Born of the carpenter's hand
