Stephen Fearing - When My Work Is Done lyrics

One day you'll be gone I know that time will come Some day I'll follow you When my work is done If I was not your little boy Rolling like a train Still I'd ride the rails for you To hell and back again Heartache's a lonely path That pulls you 'round the bend And you find the ones who love you When you reach the story's end One day you'll be gone I know that time will come Some day I'll follow you When my work is done Hardships and broken dreams Is all you've ever known Trying to make a better life And call this house a home High winds and broken clouds The angels must have cried When they saw you gaze at me With the loving in your eyes One day you'll be gone I know that time will come Some day I'll follow you When my work is done That chip upon my shoulder Is a long and sorry tale Hold a hammer tight enough The world looks like a nail I'm rollin'down the tracks I'm the little red caboose I'm chasing all my demons down So I can sing the blues One day you'll be gone I know that time will come Some day I'll follow you When my work is done
