Life's Work Lyrics

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.
