If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady

Carrying the pots I made, following behind me?
[Chorus]
C D G D
Save my love through loneliness, save my love through sorrow

I've given you my onliness, give me your tomorrow

Would you miss your coloured box and your soft shoes shining?

I've given you my onliness, give me your tomorrow
