Lyrics
Brick Layer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I am a very good brick layer
I am very skilled
I can also work with the stones
That I dug from the hill
But one tender look is all it takes
For them to crumble back to the ground
From whence they came
Outside the doors of the show
Juana Molina songs
Every word that I spoke
Mortar in the walls
But one tender look is all it takes
For them to crumble back to the ground
From whence they came
How can a sweet afternoon
Become a brick-hard night?
I'm still learning the rules
Of how to treat somebody right
I am a very good brick layer
I am very skilled
I can also work with the stones
That I dug from the hill
That I dug from the hill
That I dug from the hill
That I dug from the hill
