"I'll Work On You" lyrics - DAVID WILCOX

It'll work on you To make one thing right
1962 Austin Healey Sprite
Sand it down to steel Make it shine so bright
Make a summer of a winter night

It'll work on you
All the rust you find
That the welder heals
Leaving scars to grind
You can make it new
If you take your time
Start with course and take it down to fine

And your heart goes through those changes
Long before the job is through
And the part that's really strange is:
It'll work on you

It'll work on you
All the fire you've seen
That still makes you sweat
In your soldier's dreams
Now your hair goes grey
But your eyes stay green
And you can't erase a single scene

It'll work on you
Everything you've done
You could not undo
What you had become
You were twenty two
When you held that gun
And its hold on you had just begun

[Chorus]

It's a rusted heap, but there's no mistake
There's a shine you keep, when your shoulders ache
There's a winding road by a shining lake
You can dream it while you're wide awake

It'll work on you; It's the way you heal
You can reach down through How you used to feel
You go back in time, 'Till the past is real
And you take it down to pristine steel

[Chorus]
