The Work
Do the years add up To the suck and the blow Of a breath and a beating heart There must be more
You can wash your face With a sunset song The lines will still remain They'll never be gone
Will you bully your land With a furrowed brow But King Harvest leaves With a thinning crown
You may bow your head As the hair recedes But it's filled with years That no one can steal
When the work stops working What was light becomes a weight When the work stops working Shall we pack it all in
When the work stops working And the weight becomes an ache When the work stops working Shall we pack it all in
Or start again
Ah, the search for answers Is an idiot's task I'm not halfway there But don't want to ask
The search gives a glint To the older eye And I'll keep on looking Till the day I die
Is the work half-worth When your hands grow raw Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com When your knees keep creaking Like an old barn door
The gloves of love Become an old man's friend And you'll learn to make a stand Not to stoop and bend
When the work stops working What was light becomes a weight When the work stops working Shall we pack it all in
When the work stops working And the weight becomes an ache When the work stops working Shall we pack it all in
Or start again
The lines remain And they will never be gone All life is filled with years No one can steal
I'll keep on looking Till the day I die I'll learn to make a stand Not stoop and bend
When the work stops working What was light becomes a weight When the work stops working Shall we pack it all in
When the work stops working And the weight becomes an ache When the work stops working Shall we pack it all in
Or start again
