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
