David Wilcox - I'll Work on You lyrics

It'll work on you To make one thing right 1962 Austin Healey Sprite Sand it down to steel Make it shine so bright Make a summer of a winter night It'll work on you All the rust you find That the welder heals Leaving scars to grind You can make it new If you take your time Start with course and take it down to fine And your heart goes through those changes Long before the job is through And the part that's really strange is: It'll work on you It'll work on you All the fire you've seen That still makes you sweat In your soldier's dreams Now your hair goes grey But your eyes stay green And you can't erase a single scene It'll work on you Everything you've done You could not undo What you had become You were twenty two When you held that gun And its hold on you had just begun CHORUS It's a rusted heap, but there's no mistake There's a shine you keep, when your shoulders ache There's a winding road by a shining lake You can dream it while you're wide awake It'll work on you; It's the way you heal You can reach down through How you used to feel You go back in time, 'Till the past is real And you take it down to pristine steel CHORUS
