[ Featuring the Herbaceous Perennials ]
As the sun slowly sets
Life's as good as it gets
But there's work to be done and done right
And it's maybe not how you pictured your life
But, to rescue the plight, I'll be working through the night
I'll be working through the night
There are those who work hard
No black marks on their cards
There are those who will toil for their pay
Who will sleep through the sun of the day
But, as darkness takes over light, they'll be working through the night
They'll be working 'til the break of day
Every night I spend alone from you
And every day I cannot sleep
I think of people maybe luckier
With the world at their feet
But they don't have all that I have
'Cause I've got a smile across my face
And everything I do for a reason
Everything is in it's place
There's a boxer in a field
And I know how he feels
'Cause he's leaving but he says there's still a fight
And I know now in my heart that he's right
'Cause, kept soundly out of sight, I'll be making the future bright
I'll be working through the night
Every night I spend alone from you
And every day I cannot sleep
I think of people maybe luckier
With the world at their feet
But they don't have all that I have
'Cause I've got a smile across my face
And everything I do for a reason
Everything is in it's place
But I know this ain't it
And I'll save every bit
'Cause some day I'll be new and reborn
I'll be alive and stand proudly in the dawn
But for now, because it's right, I'll be working through the night
I'll be working to keep you warm
