kevin max - if i could make it work in life lyrics
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 lttle i get of the love 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 books
it’s a four cent nickel for my dime store theme, but it sure reads good
if i could make it work in life
like it works on paper
if the 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 for a pair of wings
and i would fly
if only i could make it work in life
and at the end of every night i add up the tips and i count for what’s mine
i come down to a thing that amounts to a lie
and the sum of it all i’m afraid
is less then what i know i need
to slip beneath the surface of my forgeries
where i buried my hopes where sometimes my dreams
still stun me and steal me away.
i can still hear dine bikeyah call just like we were kids
i could tell you all about it in a song
but lord i wish
if i could make it work in life
like it works on paper
if the 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 for a pair of wings
and i would fly
if only i could make it work in life, make it work in life
