Here And Heaven Lyrics - Aoife O'donovan

With a hammer and nails and a fear of failure we 

are building a shed 

Between here and heaven between the wait and the 

wedding for as long as we both shall be dead 

to the world beyond the boys and the girls trying 

to keep us calm 

We can practice our lines 'til we're deaf and blind 

to ourselves to each other where it's 

Fall not winter spring not summer cool not cold 

And it's warm not hot have we all forgotten that 

we're getting old 

With an arrow and bow and some seeds left to sow 

we are staking our claim 

On ground so fertile we forget who we've hurt along 

the way and reach out for a strange hand 

to hold someone strong but not bold enough to 

tear down the wall 

'Cause we ain't lost enough to find the stars ain't 

crossed why align them why fall hard 

not soft into 

Fall not winter spring not summer cool not cold 

Where it's warm not hot have we all forgotten that 

we're getting old
