(One)
Caught myself digging again
And all that I've found as I dig deeper down, my friend
Are these subtle lights
These subtle lights.
(Two)
Sunlight has all disappeared
I haven't seen it since yesteryear.
And all that I hear as throw the earth clear
Is this ringing in my ears.
And these subtle lights
These subtle lights.
Caverns with diamonds and
Riches from carbon sands.
Hoping you'll understand
If I return empty handed.
Emeralds and geodes and
All that erodes a man.
Love grows in crystal bands
And mining love, that's my plan.
(Three)
Stop for a moment of rest
Strike a match for a cigarette.
Rumblings emerge from the ground
And falling in, all around.
Surrounded by
These subtle lights.
Enraptured by
These subtle lights.
Caverns with diamonds and
Riches from carbon sands.
Hoping you'll understand
If I return empty handed.
Emeralds and geodes and
All that erodes a man.
Love grows in crystal bands
And mining love, that's my plan.
