Love is the Bread On the Table

Verse 1

Stiff

The old floorboards

Cold water on my face

Waking up before the sun finds the yard

Four thirty

The engine groans

I am pulling overtime

I am pushing past the limit

I am picking up the slack again

Dusty boots

Heavier

Than they were yesterday

Chorus

Every drop is for you

Every drop is for you

I give it all till I am empty

I give it all till I am empty

Because love is the bread on the table

Because love is the roof overhead

I do not tire

I do not tire

I do not tire

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Just for you

All for you

Verse 2

Scars

Across my palms

Little maps of hard work

Knuckles cracked from fixing up the sink

Silver hair

Coming in

Fast as the winter wind

My back is a bridge

My heart is a shield

Strong enough to hold the weight of us

Solid stone

Never breaks

Underneath the heavy load

Chorus

Every drop is for you

Every drop is for you

I give it all till I am empty

I give it all till I am empty

Because love is the bread on the table

Because love is the roof overhead

I do not tire

I do not tire

I do not tire

Bridge

Maybe my hands are rough

Maybe my clothes are torn

Maybe my joints are aching

But I see you sleeping

And I find my breath

But I see you dreaming

And I find my strength

Chorus

Every drop is for you

Every drop is for you

I give it all till I am empty

I give it all till I am empty

Because love is the bread on the table

Because love is the roof overhead

I do not tire

I do not tire

I do not tire

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Just for you

All for you

Outro

Four thirty

The alarm rings

I do it all again

Just for you

Always for you

Always

Always

Always
