Wreck

In the heart of the country
Where the men all love their wives
I'm a wreck with no one there to see
I was burning up all night
They say if outcast hands are cringing
Someone's bound to just appear
But I don't want just anyone
I need a worker not a volunteer

I got so much love to give
It tosses me and it turns
I don't wanna be the wreck that burns and burns and burns and burns

Like a kettle taken off the flame
Still hot for hours more
I fear whatever I am made of
Never cools enough to hold
I think we all want security
With all its healing lore
But with that comes a treaty
And treaties break with war

I got so much love to give
It tosses me and it turns
I don't wanna be the wreck that burns and burns and burns and burns
I got so much love to give
It tosses me and it turns
I don't wanna be the wreck that burns and burns and burns and burns
