Toil and Trouble Lyrics

I've worked hard

You know the money barely pays for the rent

It's laborious and meaningless

What a waste away our time gets spent

For my own worried tired part

If we could ever pull together again

So worn and damaged from the love that we miss

This burden's crushing so we're gonna pretend

Although it's hard to find

Enough security and peace of mind

Though my own folly keeps repeating this

What a waste away my time gets spent

And though I love you

More than words can say

When the flame burns low

Would you want to stay

From my heart

I'd never dream of not succeeding in this

I try to focus on a life that's content

You wanna talk about how much you hate the government

For my part

I've been so sad I don't know where to begin

So torn and damaged by the love that we miss

We've lost so much we've gotta work 'til the end

Although it's hard to find

Enough security and peace of mind

Though my own folly keeps repeating this

What a waste away my time gets spent

And though I love you

More than words can say

When the flame burns low

Would you want to stay
