Lyrics

I know what you’ve told me, I know what I’ve heard
But just for a moment I’m lost for words
It’s one thing to know, it’s another again
To touch the wood and feel the grain
And you took so much trouble, you spent so much time
There’s no other way to make something so fine
You have to be patient and skilled in the ways
Of the saw, the chisel, the plane and the lathe
I’m always working, I can’t seem to stop
And you’re just the same, we’re chips off the block
There’s something in trying to master your art
And the feeling you get when you work from the heart
And when you stand back to see what you’ve made
You hold in your hands the tools of your trade
Mine are the words and the notes on the stave
And yours the chisel, the plane and the lathe
Life is not always kind
When it prays on your mind
You have to escape it sometimes
And this thing that you’ve made
And the look on your face
I’ll keep for the rest of my days
And when you stand back to see what you’ve made
You hold in your hands the tools of your trade
I know you’ll get back as good as you gave
From the saw and the chisel, the plane and the lathe
