Frightened Rabbit - The Work lyrics

rate me

The 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 at the sunset sauna

but 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 the glint to the older eye

and i'll keep on looking till the day i die

is the work half worth it when your hands grow old

when your knees keep creeking 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

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?
