Without the use of bricks & mortar
And without the use of steel
But with Hope and Truth and Iodine
I build this love for you
Take my hand, we will see, what becomes of you and me
Catch my arm take a look at all you've left
There is truth by the sea, and a place for us to be
Making shadows leaves no need to be bereft
There's a feeling I get when I look upon this mess
And my spirit starts crying to be free
For the liar and the thief, the abusive and cheat
Make a mockery of freedom come and see
For without the use of mortar
And without the use of steel
But with Hope and Truth and Iodine
I build this love for you
Turn your lonely eyes to winter
Leave the icing on the floor
Take a letter to the postman, you're not
Coming back here again at all
I have been far away but I'm back again to stay
For sometimes it is better not to speak
Make a mark I can keep, I will watch you while you sleep
Making marks is a pastime to be missed
If I am gone when you wake
No offence must you take
Things are seldom exactly what they seem
In the first light of day, then we shall away
And I will show you all the magic you can dream
For without the use of mortar
And without the use of steel
But with Hope and Truth and Iodine
I build this love for you
Turn your lonely eyes to winter
Leave the icing on the floor
Take a letter to the postman, you're not
Coming back here again at all
Instrumental
Without the use of bricks & mortar
And without the use of steel
But with Hope and Truth and Iodine
I built this love for you
