Lyrics

In the Deep

(Written and Performed by Michael Jones)

V1

Lying in the darkness
the horizon frames his bed,
A sky that's turned to calm,
the remnants rust to dead.
The treasures of his struggle
stars dyin in the sky
hands washed by years,
fingers wave a sad goodbye.

C:

Dreams that long ago went still
and followed the sun to sleep
Buried in the darkness,
buried in the deep.

V2

He sees her face in memory
or maybe it's a dream
There is no difference anymore
any difference between.
This blur of endless pictures,
old sensations rise and fade,
was she everything or nothing,
it dissolve and is remade.

C

Dreams that long ago went still
and followed the sun to sleep,
Buried in the darkness
Buried in the deep

Wooooooooowoooooo
Wooooooooowoooooo
Wooooooooowoooooo

B:

Lyin in each
other's arms
in dusty
bedroom light,
their hunger
fills the air
as the shadows
turn to night.

C:

Dreams that long ago went still
and followed the sun to sleep,
Buried in the darkness,
buried in the deep.

O:

Buried in the deep
buried in the deep
Buried in the darkness
What's meant for us to keep?

Woooowhoooo
Woooooowhooo
Whooooohwooooo
Ooooooooooooooo

Woooowhoooo
Woooooowhooo
Buried in the darkness
buried in the deep?
