Lifes Work Lyrics - Singles - Land Lovers

There's a danger in speaking up 

When the powers that be find your lungs lacking 

Besides, did you want to be understood? 

If the time was right, bloody sure you would 

But the time was wrong; I'd a life's work to do 

After I finished that walk with you 

There's no record of your voice 

I taped you at Christmas refusing your uncles a song 

What they wanted was yours alone 

You'll enter eternity guarding your groans 

Your bones, bones, bones are a bleak masterpiece: 

Off with the camera, on with the fleece 

There's a blue swollen sea 

It comes rushing for me 

In the days left in balance 

When you've left me your diaries, your daughters, your dockets 

Will I set aside time for each of those? 

Or wonder if Pharaohs were buried with more clothes? 

A ghost with a life's work to do: 

Patrolling the body you'll leave me to ruin
