LILT: Stein Um Stein 1.0

Sorry, no clever YouTube, forum, or Herzeleid.Com links with this one. I'm on a cellular connection from a remote Greek village, and naturally this isn't ideal for surfing, especially since It's a shared connection! Here's the first draft of Stein Um Stein:

I have a plan, it's grand my dear
I'm building you a house
Every stone shall be a tear
And you will never get out
Yeah, I'll build this house of yours
Without windows and without doors
In it will be dark withal
No light will get in there at all

Yeah I'll make a home for you
You'll be a part of it too

Stone by stone I wall you in
Stone by stone
I'm always there with you within

With no clothes and no shoes
You watch me get to work for you
With your feet sunk in cement
You pretty up the basement
Outside a garden with a stream
And no-one hears you scream

Stone by stone I wall you in
Stone by stone
I'm always there with you within

Such hammering, It's appalling
And outside the night is falling
All of my nails are up-standing
As with my hammer I'm ramming

Stone by stone I wall you in
Stone by stone
And no-one hears you scream
