John Raitt - His Work And Nothing More lyrics

[UTTERSON] This is not the man I knew! There's something deeply troubling you! How long do you plan to hide away here? This increasing isolation Only adds to your frustration And it could endanger your career! [JEKYLL] John, I don't need you to turn on me as well! More than ever now I need a friend! Can't you see and don't you know I've been through hell? Don't condemn what you don't comprehend! [UTTERSON] Henry, I'm not questioning your motives here But is what you're seeking worth the price? You've turned your back on everything you once held dear You're choosing to ignore your friend's advice You have your work and nothing more You are possessed. What is your demon? You've never been this way before You've lost the fire you built your dream on! There's something strange, there's something wrong I see a change, it's like when love dies I who have known you for so long I see the pain in your eyes There was a time you lived your life And no one lived the way that you did! You had a plan, you found a wife You saw your world as very few did! You had it all! The overall! You seemed to know just what to live for! But now it seems you don't at all! You have your work nothing more! [UTTERSON] You have your work And nothing more! You are possessed What is your demon? You've never been This way before You've lost the fire You built your dream on There's something strange There's something wrong I see a change It's like when love dies I who have known you For so long I see the pain In your eyes [JEKYLL] Have I Be- Come My Work and Nothing More? I Know That's Not What I'm Living For! [LISA] Father, you know Henry won't just walk away The only way he knows is straight ahead! [SIR DANVERS] Lisa, you've not heard a single word I've said My fear is he's in over his head! He could lose control and that I dread! There has been talk! They say he's gone too far! He's locked himself away in his own world Pursuing this insanity... [LISA] It is his work! [SIR DANVERS] It's more than work! He is obsessed! The man is driven! [LISA] Just give him time! I ask no more! His work's a crime to be forgiven! [SIR DANVERS] There's something strange, unless I'm blind I see a change of a bizarre kind [LISA] There's not at all! Don't be unkind! The problem's all in your mind! [SIR DANVERS] He has his work And nothing more! He is obsessed The man is driven! [LISA] Just give him time I ask no more! His work's a crime To be forgiven! [SIR DANVERS] There's something strange Unless I'm blind I see a change Of a bizarre kind! [LISA] There's not at all! Don't be unkind The problem's all In your mind! [UTTERSON] Have You Be- Come Your Work and Nothing More? I Know That's Not What You're Living For [JEKYLL] Lisa... Lisa... Lisa... Lisa... Lisa... [LISA] Still I pray Every day Henry may Find his way I pray he May find His way [SIR DANVERS] Dear, I pray Every day Henry may Find his way I pray he May find His way [UTTERSON] I Pray You May Find Your Way [JEKYLL] I Pray I May Find My Way [LISA] Still I pray Every day Henry may Find his way I pray he May find His way [SIR DANVERS] Dear, I pray Every day Henry may Find his way I pray he May find His way [UTTERSON] I Pray You May Find Your Way [JEKYLL] I Pray I May Find My Way
