Trees of green and golden
Line the northern road
Farming land your father once worked
Is now all overgrown
You were young and restless
Growing up too fast
With heartaches full of question inside
But too afraid to ask

You thought you could find yourself
In someone else's soul
But time has it's final take
And finally takes it's toll

But you can't change the water into stone
You're only flesh and bone
Your wishing well is welling up alone
And love has a mind all of it's own
Builder of a broken home
Broken home

Rusted wire fences
Mark the county line
All the dreams you thought were out there
Were only in your mind
Oh how you wish you knew
A way to understand
You held on so tight to love
It shattered in your hand

But you can't change the water into stone
You're only flesh and bone
Your wishing well is welling up alone
And love has a mind all of it's own
Builder of a broken home
A broken home

And life goes on
No matter what you think
You might have done nothing wrong
Whoa, whoa

You thought you could find yourself
In someone else's soul
But time has it's final take
And finally takes it's toll

And you can't change the water into stone
You're only flesh and bone
Your wishing well is welling up alone
And love has a mind all of it's own
Builder of a broken home

You're only flesh and bone
Your wishing well is welling up alone
And love has a mind all of it's own
A builder of a broken home
Broken home
Broken home
Broken home
