Working the Musical - The Mason Lyrics

THE MASON, spoken
There's not a house in this country that I've built that
I don't look at every time I go by.
If any one stone's crooked, I notice it.
The people that lives there might not notice it, but...
I notice it.
Stone's my business. Stone's my life.
THE MASON SINGER, sung
He builds a house
With his hands
Thirty years go by, it stands
It stands where nothing stood
A house of stone
The mason sleep real good
He does his work
His work say flies
Quitting time's a big surprise
And then it's one more stone
To get just right
There's always one more stone
Before the night
Ev'ry house he builds
Ev'ry stone he lays
It's not just making money
Or counting off the days...
THE MASON, spoken
I daydream all the time about stone.
One day,
I'm gonna build me a stone cabin down on the Green River.
Gonna have stone cabinets in the kitchen.
Everything's stone.
It seems all my dreams have a piece of rock mixed up in 'em.
THE MASON SINGER, sung
He builds a house
With his hands
A hundred years go by, it stands
It tells you who he was
A life goes fast
But the work a mason does
It's made to last
The work a mason does...
THE MASON, spoken
There's nothing in this Earth gonna last forever,
but with stone, you're getting pretty close.
THE MASON SINGER, sung
It's made to last
