Woodcarver lyrics
Johnny Cash & Sandy Kelly
Woodcarver
(Sandy)
Woodcarver carve me the house of my dreams
Carve me a valley, make me a stream
That runs through the mountains and under the trees
Woodcarver do this for me
(Johnny)
Well I can Carve you a house out of oak out of pine
Make you a castle that sits on the Rhine
Even a cottage that no one can find
With a sun that forever will shine
(Johnny)
But I can't make it real for you
It's only as real as the wood that I use
I can't make your dreams come true
That's something you'll have to do
(Sandy)
Woodcarver carve me the love I can't find
Make him gentle, tender and kind
Carve him a heart that will always be mine
Woodcarver take your time
(Johnny)
Well I can carve you a knight or a cowboy in jeans
Or maybe a sailor coming home from the sea
As hard as the oak or as soft as the pine
Just like the man you can't find
(Johnny)
But I can't make it real for you
It's only as real as the wood that I use
I can't make your dreams come true
That's something you'll have to do
(Sandy)
Woodcarver do you mind if I watch
Your hands are so smooth and your chisel so sharp
I promise that I will not get in your way
Woodcarver please let me stay
(Johnny)
Well I can carve you your house
I can carve you your man
But I can give you much more
With these wood carving hands
(Johnny)
No you won't be a bother
If you want to stay
Do you know what
I'm trying to say
(Johnny)
I could make it real for you
I'm as real as the wood that I use
I could make your dreams come true
There's nothing more you'd have to do
(Sandy)
O woodcarver make it come true
(Sandy)
Woodcarver carve me the house of my dreams
Carve me a valley, make me a stream
That runs through the mountains and under the trees
Woodcarver do this for me
