Carpenter's Square

When he walked to town that evening

Sky was cool and it was clear

Though the night fell quickly on him

He was young and had no fear

Though the road was lined with grass

It was straight as it was broad

Driven on by his desires

He walked on that lonely road

And he bore his load so lightly

Though heavy were his ways

For there was a girl he'd hoped to see

That night in the carpenter's square

When he reached the town he saw her

In her finest silk was she

Then he knew he'd never have her

For he wore simple workman's gray

And her eyes, they burned so brightly

And her gaze, it was so fair

And she filled his mind completely

All the way back from carpenter's square

And his steps felt twice as heavy

And his load too great to bear

As he walked from town that Friday

All the way back from carpenter's square

And her eyes, they burned so brightly

And her gaze, it was so fair

And she filled his mind completely

All the way back from carpenter's square

When he walked to town that evening

Sky was cool and it was clear

Though the night fell quickly on him

He was young and had no fear
