The Weather Station - Life's Work

Текст песни

I listened; I always did listen to you
Singing all the way through —
Your life’s work: passion, caution, timing
Try what you saw, and try what you knew
It was never always true
Your life’s work teasing you
Like a statue: so dignified, so blind
They take and take
But they don’t seem to receive
And you don’t sleep, and there’s no money
Your life’s work: passion, caution, timing
Try as you might, and try as you will
You were never truly still
And you try what you saw, and you try what you love
It would never be enough
Try as you might, try as you will
You were never truly still
