All these years
I’ve been knocking on your door,
Laying out my loving
Like a carpet on the floor ,
Working all the hours,
Working ‘round the clock,
Hoping that my sweat’s
Going to earn some stock
Chorus:
But I’m working for a pittance,
Hauling every stage,
My remittance
Is the minimum wage,
Pulling on the oars
And fighting through the waves;
This galley-ship of yours
Only has one slave.
I’m living on my memories:
Every glance,
Every smile and
Every dance,
Nose to the grindstone,
Pumping out the mine,
Hoping that the water
Turns to wine
Chorus
How much longer
Is this extra mile?
Always uphill,
Never up the aisle,
Marching to your orders,
Dancing to your tune,
Praying for a miracle,
Shooting at the moon,
Chorus
