Love Works (Live)

Love Works (Live) - Graeme Connors

Mrs Turner lives

In a third floor apartment in the heart of the city

Surrounded by highrise that block out sunlight

For most of the day

Yet on a small balcony she tends a garden where the flowers bloom perfectly

In the gray

And when people ask how she does it

Old Mrs Turner will say

Cause love works

In the midst of all this

Love works

Each day I tell my flowers I love them

And love works

In the midst of all this

Love works

They hear and they grow

As even the flowers know

Love works

Mrs Turner keeps a lifesize portrait

Of her husband William

A brave young soldier who failed to return

From the Second World War

And each night she sits and knits and talks to him

As if he'd just walked through the door

And when people ask why she does it

Mrs Turner will say cause I'm sure

That love works

In the midst of all this

Love works

Each day

I tell by Bill I love him

And love works

In the midst of all this

Love works

He hears I know

And he's with me wherever I go

Cause love works

And every morning Mrs Turner

Takes a short walk to the corner

To say a prayer and light a candle at St.Bards

With a bunch of fresh cut flowers

And the memories of her William

She's a beautiful example to us all

How love works

In the midst of all this

Love works

Each day

Somewhere a prayer is answered

And love works

In the midst of all this

Love works

God hears and it shows

In ways we may never know

Love works

In the midst of all this

Love works

God hears and it shows

In ways we may never know

Love works
