lirik lagu maxwell rose - labor of love
[intro]
one, two
a~one, two, three, go
[verse 1]
somebody’s old man’s old man
gave up the old country
to build a brownstone brick~by~brick
his wife and ten children
crammed in the tenements
sleeping on the floor on which we sit
[verse 2]
you laid out your orange blossoms
i brought a piece of the marshland
and on the floral sheets, our garden started
built a home around it
planted where the heart is
[pre~chorus]
i laid the two~by~fours
but i saw the window, you saw the door
[chorus]
so when the fire surrounds
would this house hold us down, are we falling?
when the waves cascade, will the ceiling cave?
are we strong yet?
when the morning comes, and it’s all said and done
and the pictures fade, leaving empty frames
is it my name you’re calling?
would you curse my fate?
throw dirt on my grave?
or kiss my face, make it all okay?
in this labor
this labor of love
[verse 3]
this land is tired, the wood is old
the long~dead soil, the grass still grows
round the green of my eyes
the freckle beneath yours
our own proof of life
[verse 4]
so why, my love, why, why bother?
got sh~t from your mother, i’m the temper of my father
and their mother’s mothers, father’s fathers
we’re all just a labor of love
it’s a labor of love
[pre~chorus]
so let’s lay the two~by~fours
before time shuts all the doors
[chorus]
so when the fire surrounds
would this house hold us down, are we falling?
when the waves cascade, will the ceiling cave?
are we strong yet?
when the morning comes, and it’s all said and done
and the pictures fade, leaving empty frames
is it my name you’re calling?
would you curse my fate?
throw dirt on my grave?
or kiss my face, make it all okay?
in this labor
this labor of love
[outro]
somebody’s old man’s old man
gave up the old country
now, all i could do is love you
