Gone away
Someone else son's gone
Every night
I lie here
Hard hurt heart
That holds the door
Buried in time
Lay in a factory bleeding
And all the time they walk the line
And all the time in asking land
Why can't I go with them?
Down they go
Why are we left behind?
There come a day
There'll be an open door
How can we get there?
We've lost our way
Memory
Is the strangest thing
What a day
For dreaming
There's a flame
Whose light still shines
Leading us out
Through fields and bridges
And all the time they walk the line
And all the time in asking land
Are there miners
Breathing underground?
Is there anyone there?
What is a man?
What are we working for?
What will we find there?
So far away
Caught
Caught in a spider's web in time
No matter what they say
My son's crawling like a wet stone miner
And I wonder, wonder
I wonder, wonder
And all the time they walk the line
And all the time in asking land
I've seen grasses grow
Through rock and stone
I can picture his face
There up ahead
There lies that open door
What does it matter
How long we wait?
What does it mean?
Is there no golden law?
Underneath stone
It's stone the same
