Lyrics Heather Nova – The Archaeologist
Text:
Every day is like Pompeii
Buried under ash and clay
Wishing we could push up, push up
Through to the air
Every little piece of us
Thinking of the way it was
Earth has gotta give way someday
Someone’s gonna find our bones
So dig down, dig down we must
I’m not afraid of going deep
I’ll be the archaeologist;
You just have to put your faith in me
Stay close, stay close we must
Hold up the light so we can see
I’ll be the archeologist;
You just have to put your faith in me
See the sun is setting low
Coming through the olive groves
See the boy is running and running
No time to lose
Everything we hope to find
Everything preserved in time
Love is in the ruins, ruins
Come take my hand and
Dig down, dig down we must
I’m not afraid of going deep
I’ll be the archaeologist;
You just have to put your faith in me
Stay close, stay close we must
Hold up the light so we can see
You just have to put your faith in me
I’ve been dreaming, longing, waiting underground
I’ve been dreaming, longing, waiting to be found
So dig down, dig down we must
I’m not afraid of going deep
I’ll be the archaeologist;
You just have to put your faith in me
Stay close, stay close we must
Hold up the light so we can see
I’ll be the archeologist;
You just have to put your faith in me
You just have to put your faith in me
You just have to put your faith in me
You just have to put your faith in me
