You can take a lot of reckoning, But you can't take it all.<br /><br />There are times when I can help you out, And times when you must fall. There are times when you must live in doubt And I can't help at all.<br /><br />Chorus 1: Three blue stars rise on the hill Sing no more now just be still All these trials soon be past Look for something built to last<br /><br />A wind held by the collar, Yes, a cloud held by the breeze You can walk on coals of fire But sometimes you must freeze<br /><br />There are times when you offend me And I do the same to you If we can't or won't forget it I guess we could be through<br /><br />Chorus 2: One blue star sets on the hill Call it back you never will One more star sinks in the past Show me something built to last<br /><br />Built to last till time itself falls tumbling from the wall Built to last till sunshine fails and darkness moves on all Built to last while years roll past like cloudscapes in the sky Show me something built to last and something built to try<br /><br />There are times when you get hit upon Try hard but you can't give Other times you'd gladly part With what you need to live<br /><br />Don't waste your breath to save your face When you have done your best And even more is asked of you Fate will decide the rest<br /><br />Chorus 3: All the stars are gone but one Morning breaks here comes the sun Cross the sky now sinking fast Show me something built to last <small>[<a href="http://www.well.com/conf/deadsongs.vue/topics/31/Built-To-Last-page01.html">Read entire topic</a>]</small> Thu, 11 Sep 2003 00:00:00 PDT http://www.well.com/conf/deadsongs.vue/topics/31/Built-To-Last-page01.html#post0 Built To Last w: Hunter m: Garcia AGDL: http://arts.ucsc.edu/gdead/agdl/buil.html LASF: http://www.whitegum.com/songfile/BUILTLST.HTM <small>[<a href="http://www.well.com/conf/deadsongs.vue/topics/31/Built-To-Last-page01.html">Read entire topic</a>]</small> Wed, 10 Sep 2003 23:59:00 PDT
