Van Dyke Parks - Rough Design lyrics

A meeting of minds is what you said A weight above your head In the morning there's light in your room You are a lighthouse for me now I follow the beat inside your chest And although we are far We are closer than most Skin and bones and blood and stones And gold and lace and men and mice And plants and dirt and rocks and vines A state of mind to intertwine Now love is blind Rough design but still sturdy Now we're on a boat to India We're on our way to what we are There's a humming that comes from my chest Follow the signal of my heart Follow the heat inside my breast And although we are close We remain who we are Skin and bones and blood and stones And gold and lace and men and mice And plants and dirt and rocks and vines A state of mind to intertwine Now love is blind A rough design but still sturdy
