Precious Moments Lyrics - Posies

The bloodless toil, the endless foil 

You'll never see your home again 

Every time you dial that phone 

It rings like it's got no end 

Life, what precious moments 

Like a flood that you can't reverse 

Oh life, of precious moments 

And it's only getting worse 

The mud-filled cracks of rutted tracks 

You'll never see your mother again 

Every time you dig that grave 

Why do you bother trying to fill it in? 

Oh life, what precious moments 

Like a flood that you can't reverse 

Oh life, what precious moments 

And it's only getting worse 

I hate to see what trials can be 

Expected of the ordinary 

Before you can recoil in horror 

You'll discover life is life's destroyer 

Life, what precious moments 

Like a flood that you can't reverse 

Oh life, what precious moments 

And it's only getting worse 

I hate to see what trials can be 

Expected of the ordinary 

We've all got some blood for brothers 

Why do we never share with others? 

Sister's pure, the vein is sure 

You'll never hear music again 

That's enough, that's enough 

That's enough, oh, that's enough 

Of life, what precious moments 

Like a flood that you can't reverse 

Oh life, what precious moments 

And it's only getting worse 

Don't waste your time, I can't hear you 

Don't waste your time, I can't hear you 

Don't waste your time, I can't hear you 

Don't waste your time, I can't hear you
