Roddy Woomble - Work Like You Can lyrics

Nothing'll get lost if we work like we can Till the smell of the earth is worn into our hands And I promise you something You'll never get nowhere If you only ask questions of love Long ago people came to this town To build their lives out of what they found And now the town's a ruin And the dirt on the ground Is mixed in with the ashes of love Gather with others and work like you can To live like you can You can keep your mouth shut better than I can Accept and obey every law in this land And when the wind blows your wages Right out of your hands You'll accept that wind Doesn't blow around love Gather with others and work like you can To live like you can In spite of, in spite of Money, position and power All the important things I'm told we should be dreaming of The seasons are fixed with sun Just like an old stone that'll never be thrown Soon the spring will come Like a distant object of love And the spring tide and neap tide Bring a rhythm to the land With the oil on the saw We can work like we can What you lack in ability You can gain pretty simply Ignore the riches The riches of love Gather with others and work like you can To live like you can
