Two centuries since 
I first saw you weave like a dancer around my heart 
You grew wild when it rained 
I dug deep into the slates so we'd never be apart 
You, you always stay by me 
You, you wander but never leave 
And I'm the one who watches over you 
That's what 
I was built to do 
Laid the track 
Poured the streets 
Towers of glass and concrete 
In silence, you watched what 
I became You lifted me up 
Said I'd stand at the top and all the world would know my name 
You, you always stay by me 
You, you wander but never leave 
And I'm the one who watches over you 
That's what 
I was built to do 
Oh Love don't you weep 
You know we cannot keep 
This moment here together 
If you could only see 
The beauty that 
I see We'd go on forever 
And as I turn to rust 
Start to crack 
Betray us 
You, you haven't aged a day 
When it's time for me to go 
Promise me that you'll flow until the ocean 
Washes you away 
You, you always stay by me 
You, you wander but never leave 
And I'm the one who watches over you 
I'm the one who watches over you 
I'm the one who watches over you 
That's what 
I was built to do
