Coal Mine

hold my weight, if you are able
hold my weight, best as you can
both our feet, under the water
both our feet, will help me to to stand
I thought I was gone till you pulled me off the floor

lost my place, just like I told you
lost my place, hide and the hair
guide my way, out of the darkness
guide my way, and I'll meet you there
over where the mountains fall across the shore

it's been a long time in the coal mine
I was holding the bottom up from below
slow climb to the sunshine
but I don't think the devil will let me go

carve our names, into in the canyon
carve our names, into the stone
I could be, your hilltop cathedral
I could be, the crack in the dome
just might bring the whole thing tumbling to the ground
so bring it down

it's been a long time
so give me sunshine
