Two centuries
Since I first saw you weave
Like a dance around my heart
You grew wild when it rained
I dug deep into the slate
So wed never be apart
You, you always stayed by me
You, you wander but never leave
And Im the one who watches over you
-7
Thats what I was built to do
Laid the track, poured the streets
Ties of glass and concrete
In silence, you watched what I became
You lifted me up
Said Id stand at the top
And all the world would know my name
(CHORUS)
-7 (2x)
-7
Love, dont you weep
You know we cannot keep
-7
This moment here together
-7
If you could only see
The beauty that I see
-7
Wed go on forever
And as I turn to rust
Start to crack, betray us
You, you havent aged a day
When its time for me to go
Promise me that youll flow
Until the ocean washes you away
You, you always stayed by me
You, you wander but never leave
And Im the one who watches over you
Im the one who watches over you
Im the one who watches over you
-7
Thats what I was built to do
