The Carpenter
It's a good talent, work with your hands and food on the table Sight to blind and water to wine in barrio fables Oh holy night up in Boyle Heights, then the workday begins We awake to the colonial din of gringos driving in My only son you're truly a wonder, maybe a harbinger Day labor harlot, home depot car lot, 8 dollar carpenter Oh holy night up in Boyle Heights, then the workday begins We awake to the colonial din of gringos driving in Jesus I cannot explain Why you and Dad don't look the same Time will come, lawns will brown when the aqueduct fails Time will come, they'll need you for more than hammering nails Time will come, lawns will brown when the aqueduct fails Jesus they'll need you for more than hammering nails |
