Lyrics
On a tree top
Where the dew drop
Many birds sing, have you two fought
On a merry whistle berry
I bestowed chilly februaries
Crocus seeds and mildew weeds
Milky thistle and cherry tree
Osmanthus calls me to stray away
Burning orange leaflets for a prayer
And work is the prison of my love
It forces the hand of god
And god is the breath in our hearts
Why must i love to work, work to love, work for love
And my world is robbed away
And in my grief I wallow
And the pantheon
Begs at my doorstep
Will you return to your assignment
Crocus seeds and mildew weeds
Mugwort garlands and dried tea leaves
Osmanthus calls me to stray away
Burning orange leaflets for a prayer
Work is the prison of my love
It forces the hand of god
And god is the breath in our hearts
Why must i love to work, work to love, work for love
Sickle scythe are all forgotten
Wheat is pickled carpet rotten
The sun is my baby she follows my word
My anger destroys the last autumn gourd
And I bask in the pleasures of reliability
And the trance of loving attention
But what am i if i live in fear
Love is the reason
Love is the reason
Love is the reason
Work is the prison of my love
It forces the hand of god
And god is the breath in our hearts
Why must i love to work, work to love, work for love
