Lyrics
Love Works
Words and Music: Graeme Connors
Mrs.Turner lives in a third floor apartment in the heart of the city
Surrounded by high-rise that block out the sunlight for most of the day
Yet on her small balcony she tends a garden
Where the flowers bloom perfectly in the grey
And when people ask how she does it all Mrs.Turner will say is
Love works in the midst of all this love works
Each day I tell my flowers I love them
And love works in the midst of all this love works
They hear and the grow ?cause even the flowers know love works
Mrs.Turner keeps a life-sized portrait of her husband William
A brave young soldier who failed to return from the Second World War
And each night she sits and knits and talks to him
As if he?d just walked through the door
And when people ask why she does it Mrs.Turner will say ?cause I?m sure
Love works in the midst of all this love works
Each day I tell my Bill I love him
And love works in the midst of all this love works
He hears I know and he?s with me wherever I go ?cause love works
And every morning Mrs.Turner takes a short walk to the corner
To say a prayer and light a candle at St. Paul?s
With a bunch of fresh cut flowers and the memories of her William
She?s a beautiful example to us all - how
Love works in the midst of all this love works
Each day somewhere a prayer is answered
And love works in the midst of all this love works
God hears and it shows in ways we may never know love works
