If I Could Make It Work lyrics translation: RICH MULLINS If I Could Make It Work song texte and letras RICH MULLINS If I Could Make It Work tab, paroles and testo RICH MULLINS If I Could Make It Work Karaoke and Music Video - none yet
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!
