about

A few months after Trevor and I first met I was living for the summer in a loft above a woodshop on San Juan Island. I was there to perform with a summer Shakespeare company, but I couldn’t stop thinking about Trev. I don’t think we’d even professed our love yet, but I already knew in my bones that he was “the one.” I think I wrote this song as a kind of prayer, trying to acknowledge and honor that deep “knowing,” which was unlike anything I’d ever felt before. I chose earthy language - “bone and blood, clay and mud” - because the feeling seemed so rooted and ancient. I wanted to celebrate its strength and pray for its preservation.

lyrics

Build This Love
Written by Sylvie Davidson

Lay your burdens
on my bed
and tell your secrets
to my bones and my skin
for they’ve always known you
from the day I was born
my blood rushed for you
my body was formed
Chorus:
Bone and blood
clay and mud
build this love

Put your roots down
anywhere
and I’ll follow your sweet voice
til I meet you there
then the sun will feed us
and we’ll drink in the rain
every breath I take in
is the shape of your name
Bone and blood
clay and mud
build this love

Bone and blood
clay and mud
build this love
From the ground up
From the ground up
