My love could cut her down Won't be no warning sound Be no shot of light down from the sky No writing on the wall It won't be there at all Wonder if there's any reason why, oh why When the only sign of living Is the sound of some machine Hammering and banging Against the walls And the only thing we're giving Is some time that might've been Let's cut it down and start again once more Her love could cut me down When I think I'm homeward bound All the stars still shining in the sky And every ray of light Will still shine just as bright Wonder if there's any reason why, oh why When the only sign of living Is the sound of some machine Hammering and banging Against the walls And the only thing we're giving Is some time that might've been Let's cut it down and start again once more ♪ And it's on and on it goes And it's on and on it goes And it's on and on it goes Oh Now love will cut us down Lonely on the ground Won't be no one to come down from the sky And everything we've made Will all just rust and fade We'll wonder if there's any reason why, oh why When the only sign of living Is the sound of some machine Hammering and banging Against the walls And the only thing we're giving Is some time that might've been Let's cut it down and start again once more
