Working Too Hard
Love's Labor: A Melodic Tale of Sacrifice and Yearning
Lyrics
The whistle blows at the break of dawn
The workday starts early in the morning.
Still that evening, the work goes on
Despite the time passing, the work continues into the evening.
Sixteen hours of every day
The person works long hours, around sixteen each day.
And baby, if I could, you know I'd walk away
Expresses a desire to walk away from the demanding work if possible.
I've been working too hard to win your love
Repetition emphasizes the theme of working hard to win someone's love.
Working too hard to win your love
-Working too hard to win your love
-Now a man, he does the things he'll do
Describes a man doing what he needs to do.
A woman knows, still her hope stays true
Highlights the perseverance of a woman despite challenges.
Rise up early, rise up strong
Suggests the importance of starting the day early and being resilient.
I feel the pain baby, don't let on
Acknowledges feeling pain but not revealing it openly.
I've been working too hard to win your love

Working too hard to win your love

-Home is empty, the road is long
Describes a lonely home and a long, challenging journey.
It feels like years now that I've been gone
Feels like an extended period away from home.
And all I want and all I choose
Expresses desires and choices, implying vulnerability.
And baby, all I have, I have to lose
Indicates the risk of losing everything, including love.
I've been working too hard to win your love
