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      Ohhhh...   Ohhhh...
