All in a Days Work — текст песни (styx)

She wakes up from a dream, checks the mirror for reality

She says "come on girl, its all in a days work"

Gets herself dressed just in time, disappears on the 8:05

Oh the whistle blows and its all in a days work

til she calls it a day



Oh she smiles as he glances up from the swimsuit issue

Oh she sighs as he walks away into the downtown day



Day after day night after night

Loneliness creeps in her window

She locks the door, turns off the light

Rehearsing a kiss on her pillow, she cries

Its all in a days work



Turning pages while the memories pass

Familiar faces from her senior class

How the years go by when its all in a days work

"dearest ruby, hope you reach your star

Dont ever change, stay as sweet as you are"

And when a teardrop falls she calls it a days work

She calls it a day



Oh she waits by the telephone for the call he promised

Oh its late

She puts her heart away for another day



Day after day night after night

Loneliness creeps in her window

She locks the door, turns off the light

Rehearsing a kiss on her pillow, she cries

All in a days work
