The Carpenter Lyrics

Wish I listened a long time ago

I thought I had a plan

Then at once I realized the death of me

Was at my own hand

Then I sat down and read the stories

About the mysteries of your love

Then I needed to escape the reality

That I'm just not enough

And there lies the mysteries

Held by his two hands

Stretched out before me

Are my sins that he chose to bear

Stretched out before me

Are the scars of all of my shame

The scars tell the story

In the love of a carpenter's hands

In the carpenter's hands

To wear a mask is always difficult yeah

I think I should know

To have a heart that's made for a gypsy

Where you never feel at home

To feel alone in a room full of people

That's been the story of my life

I've been tryin to see that you see me

With a carpenter's eye

And there lies the mysteries

Held by his two hands

Stretched out before me

Are my sins that he chose to bear

Stretched out before me

Are the scars of all of my shame

The scars tell the story

In the love of a carpenter's hands
