And This You Call Work Lyrics - The Trackless Woods - Iris Dement

And this you call work is carefree existence-- 

Catching ere it's flown 

What music has privately hinted, 

And jestingly call it my own. 

 

And using another's blithe scherzo 

For lines far too languid to run 

To swear your poor heart is lamenting 

In fields that smile back at the sun. 

 

And later, when pinewoods play trappist 

Doing what bold eavesdroppers dare 

While the fog's impalpable curtain 

Hangs vaguely, as smoke on the air. 

 

Not feeling one qualm of conscience 

I take things from left and right 

Life is sly, but I take something from it 

And all from the stillness of night.
