Oh, oh, my baby, bet you can see me now
Oh, oh, my darlin', I'm scared to be me now
I'm a ghost in my overcoat
A temporary number in the crowd
At war with this undertow

Wish I could hold you, wish I could hold you now
Wish I could hold you, wish I could hold you now
But I'm going down to the salt mine to start
Diggin' out from the rubble that's left of my broken heart

My livin' angel I saw you spread your wings
From tropic to cancer
City of angels gave me a golden ring
I prayed and you answered

Wish I could hold you, wish I could hold you now
Wish I could hold you, wish I could hold you now
But I'm going down to the salt mine to start
Diggin' out from the rubble that's left of my broken heart

Even though you're not around, never gonna let you down
Even though you're not around, never gonna let you down, down
But I'm going down to the salt mine to start
I'm going down to the salt mine to start diggin' out
