Karaoke Track: When The Carpenter Came by Gordon Jensen (Chart Buster) - Karaoke Nerds

IN THE STYLE OF
GORDON JENSEN

KEY OF (G) TIME 3'49

RAIN WAS
POURING DOWN

THE ROOF BEGAN
T0 LEAK

SO I CALLED
THE CARPENTER
WHOSE SHOP
WAS UP THE STREET

l BEGGED HIM TO
COME QUICKLY
HE PROMISED

THAT HE WOULD

IT WASN'T LONG
'TIL I HEARD A KNOCK
AND ON MY

FRONT PORCH
HE STOUD

VVISDDM IN HIS EYES
AND A TOOLBOX
IN HIS HAND
I TOLD HIM I WAS
DESPERATE
HE SEEMED
TO UNDERSTAND

I DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT WAS IN STORE
ON THAT DARK
AND RAINY DAY
WHEN THE
CARPENTER CAME

I ASKED HIM
TO COME IN

HE SET HIS TOOLS
DOWN ON THE FLOOR

HE SEEMED TO KNOW
HIS WAY AROUND
LIKED HE'D SEEN
THE PLACE BEFORE

RIGHT AWAY
HE WENT TO WORK
HE KNEW

JUST WHAT TO DO

IN NO TIME FLAT
HE FIXED THE ROOF
AND I THOUGHT
THAT HE WAS
THROUGH

BUT THEN HE
TORE DOWN
ONE WHOLE WALL

DIDN'T ASK ME
IF HE COULD

AT FIRST
I WAS FURIOUS
THEN I SAW

THE ROTTEN WOOD

HE TOLD ME NOT
TO WORRY
THAT HE'D BUILD IT

BACK ANEW

HE SAID THAT IT MIGHT
TAKE SOME TIME
BUT HE'D STAY
TO SEE IT THROUGH

WITH 'LMSDOM
IN HIS EYES

AND A TOOL BOX
IN HIS HAND

I THOUGHT HE'D COME
JUST TO
PATCH THINGS UP
BUT HE HAD
BIGGER PLANS

AFTER ALL
HES DONE FOR ME
I WON'T FORGET
THE DAY
WHEN THE
CARPENTER CAME

HE'S STILL AT WORK
TODAY

HE SAYS
THAT HE WONT STOP

TILL THIS HOUSE
IS PERFECT
FROM THE BOTTOM

TO THE TOP

I'VE LEARNED THAT I
CAN TRUST HIM
SO I'LL WAIT PATIENTLY
AND IF IT TAKES FOREVER
WELL THAT'S ALRIGHT
WITH ME

I THOUGHT HE'D COME
JUST TO PATCH
THINGS UP
BUT HE HAD
BIGGER PLANS

AFTER ALL
HE'S DONE FOR ME

WHEN THE
CARPENTER CAME

CARPENTER CAME
