The Owner Of The Store

The Owner Of The Store

(альбом: Miracle - 1982)

He showed me all the merchandise
And he handed me the key
And he told me I could mind the store
Because he trusted me

There will be lots of overtime
And so little time for rest
I promised him I'd work real hard
And do my very best

To keep my threshold open
And help everyone across
'Cause he who gives more than receives
Will never take a loss

Keep the owners image
Of forgiveness on display
He wouldn't want it any other way

Beware the super salesman
With temptation never ending
Though the night of offers
That one cannot refuse

The burden is on my shoulders
To make the right decisions
Of what I gain and what I lose
And what the owner would do

Be long on understanding
Never shortchange your friends
Try to burn the candle
Of kindness at both ends

Keep love for one for one another
Piled high upon the rack
'Cause the owner of the store is coming back

Beware the super salesman
With temptation never ending
Though the night of offers
That one cannot refuse

The burden is on my shoulders
To make the right decisions
Of what I gain and what I lose
And what the owner would do

Be careful not to closeout
The account book is overdue
'Cause I'm sure if I look real close
My name is in there too

Keep greed out of the picture
And keep goodness in the black
'Cause the owner of the store is coming back
