Labor Of Love

M.L. Kortes/S. Butler

Slaving in the tall grass

How long can this heat last

Up ahead's a clearing

Quittin' time is nearing

I'm ruler of a nation

In my imagination

My arms begin to tire

So I push my sleeves up higher

It's a labor of love

I'm sweating black and blue

I try and you try too

I'm taking a vacation

Such sweet hallucination

I'm gonna sweep away the ashes

Of your momentary flashes

There's peace on the horizon

If it's a mirage it's a good one

It's a labor of love

I'm sweating black and blue

I try and you try too

If it takes all night

It will be alright

Like a bird in flight

It will be alright

Paging through the rulebook

It's longer than a school book

I don't see any reference

To such passionate indifference

It's a labor of love

I'm sweating black and blue

I try and you try too

It's a labor of love

I'm sweating black and blue

I try and you try too

It's a labor of love
