Jennifer Crook - Build A Shelter

When the sea is rough you better mend your sails
When the night is long love better burn strong
When the ground is frozen up may your harvest be enough
To see you through the other side of the storm

'Cos there's everything to live for when the world is knocking at your door
But we haven't seen a soul round here for days
There's everything to reach for when the sunlight hits the kitchen floor
But you better build a shelter when it rains

In the wilderness you better take your time
Draw your maps, chart a course with your heart
It's a winter you'll survive if your compass stays aligned
With the north star that lights up the dark
And when the change comes
As it always does

There's everything to live for when the world is knocking at your door
But we haven't seen a soul round here for days
There's everything to reach for when the sunlight hits the kitchen floor
But you better build a shelter for when it rains

Your heart will need a shelter when it rains
Your friends will be a shelter when it rains
Your songs will be a shelter when it rains

Memories and all you know
Your tribe your trees, your deep blue soul
Your secret ways, your magic touch
Salty waves that feel too much
The broken pieces you made whole
Tender moments shared and known
Seeds you planted, dreams you've sewn
The open road you made your own
The sky at night, the sunsets glow
The famine and the undertow
The stories that nobody hears
Spinning wheels and fallow years
Myriads of tiny ways
You weave together all your days
A passing look, a warm embrace
Summer shining on your face
The petals falling to the ground
The love you lost, the love you found
