The Weather Station
life s work
Select language to translate this lyric
I listened; I always did listen to you. Singing all the way through â your lifeâs work: passion, caution, timing. Try what you saw, and try what you knew, it was never always true. Your lifeâs work teasing you, like a statue, so dignified, so blind.
Well they take and take, but they donât seem to receive, and you donât sleep and thereâs no money. Your lifeâs work, that you never can keep â few peaks, many valleys. Try as you might, 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.
