Van Dyke Parks
Rough Design
A meeting of minds is what you said
A weight above your head
In the morning there's light in your room
You are a lighthouse for me now
I follow the beat inside your chest
And although we are far
We are closer than most
Skin and bones and blood and stones
And gold and lace and men and mice
And plants and dirt and rocks and vines
A state of mind to intertwine
Now love is blind
Rough design but still sturdy
Now we're on a boat to India
We're on our way to what we are
There's a humming that comes from my chest
Follow the signal of my heart
Follow the heat inside my breast
And although we are close
We remain who we are
Skin and bones and blood and stones
And gold and lace and men and mice
And plants and dirt and rocks and vines
A state of mind to intertwine
Now love is blind
A rough design but still sturdy
