Appreciate Your Hands Songtext / Lyric

You try, you try, you strive

You aim to please

Nobody cares, nobody sees

I have a taste for talent wasted

Oh, waste it on me, waste it on me



CHORUS:

Bury your shovel by the door

Nail your hammer to the floor

This job is for a gentle hand

You have so much love to give

And I am here to welcome it

As long as you've got time to spend

And I'll be the kind of work

That appreciates your hands






You're a hero gone to waste

Untouched, unused

(But) I've never been

This beautifully rescued

Medals on your chest, no one salutes

I am in debt, I don't deserve you, oh-oh



CHORUS



Bury your shovel by the door

Nail your hammer to the floor

This job is for a gentle hand

You have so much love to give

And I am here to welcome it

As long as you've got time to spend

And I'll be the kind of work

I will be the kind of work

Oh, I'll be the kind of work

That appreciates your hands
