Beautiful Grind

Seven years ago we were friends at first

Started off slow, developed a thirst

One hot night the thunder hit first

The flood rushed us away

Now there's daily bread and love for real

Dirt and pain and wounds to heal

First time I kissed you by the steering wheel

I knew our time had come

And now there's work to do and children who

Need our love and time

I see you there and you give me the sign

I feel the current in my heart

I only see you when the lightning strikes

I see you when the lightning strikes

It's a beautiful grind

A beautiful grind

So pass the coffee, pour the juice

Didn't sleep, that's no excuse

Kids are up and running loose

There's precious little time for rest

So you work to two and you're up by eight

Floorboards reeling as you struggle awake

Waiting for what, where or when

These days won't come again

Then we unwind till we fall apart

The crying and the room goes dark

I see you there and you give me the sign

I feel the current in my heart

I only see you when the lightning strikes

I see you when the lightning strikes

It's a beautiful grind

It's a beautiful grind

Now how the love's falling like a mountain brook

Tells the truth like a sacred book

Harder to stop than a big time crook

And easily twice the trouble

As far and wide as the Milky Way

Means more to me than I ever say

Darker than the night, brighter than the day

Flashing by our door

In the beautiful grind I belong to you

What is it that you want me to do?

I see you there and you give me the sign

I feel the current in my heart

I only see you when the lightning strikes

I see you when the lightning strikes

I see you when the lightning strikes

It's a beautiful grind

It's a beautiful grind
