As Long As I have your Love
Story behind the song
Written late at night after I found out the fab I work in will close soon. It was my way of dealing with the frustration and reminding myself that even if I lose my job I'll still have what's most important to me.
Lyrics
I know that times are tough
There never seems to be enough
Compassion from up above
They're cutting us like weeds in the dust
Bridge
No matter how rough it gets
I’ll always have what I love best
It don’t matter what the bossmen do
As long as I get to come home to you
Chrous
I can work in the sun all day
Long hours with very few breaks
Lots of sweat but little pay
As long as I have your love
As long as I have your love
I can toil in the blazing heat
Or cast my nets in the cold blue sea
When I get home I will be free
As long as I have your love
As long as I have your love
Verse 2
I know that life ain’t free
I’m not asking for charity
I’ve already got what I need
A pretty girl waiting at home for me
