rich mullins - if i could make it work كلمات الأغنية

“i sit on a piano stool and i make up songs for these men
who come in with dust on their faces and mud on their boots
from these places that i’ll never go
i sleep in a rented bed with a woman who gives me
what little i get of the love that we’d like to imagine
is left of the love that we never did know
i slip out and scribble a note that reads like a million bucks
it’s a four cent nickel for my dime store thief
but it sure reads good

and if i could make it work in life
(make it work in life)
like it works on paper
(works on paper)
if the love that i describe
(love that i describe)
could be anything but words
then i would wipe my eyes
i’d dry this ink
i’d trade my pen in on a pair of wings
and i would
(i would)
i would fly
(i would fly)
if i could only make it work in life

and at the end of every night i add up the tips
that account for what might not come down to a thing
that amounts to a life and the sum of it all
i’m afraid is less than what i know
i need to slip beneath the surface of my forgeries
where i buried my hopes with sometimes my dreams
still stir me and steal me away
and i can still hear dineh bikeyah call
just like when we were kids
and i could tell you all about it in a song
but lord i wish that

i could make it work in life
(make it work in life)
like it works on paper
(works on paper)
if the love that i describe
(love that i describe)
could be anything but words
then i would wipe my eyes
(wipe my eyes)
i’d dry this ink
i’d trade my pen in on a pair of wings
(i would fly)
and i would fly!
if i could only make it work in life
if i could only make it work in life”
