lyrics

I feel my gentle shovel pry
Deep down in the trenches wet
Where blood flowed once - you cried
The wound’s not healed over yet

And my hands they reach around
And pull you back in
I’ll always treasure what I’ve found
I knew it’s precious way back then

And my digging makes me stronger
And more gentle than ever before
I’ll go on a little longer
I will dig for gold here ever more

My gentle shovel is deep inside
I slowly probe the private gold
Of the secrets you won’t confide
Save for one who fills your soul

Now I know why miners work alone
In places secret known just to one
But even with this pain I’ll know
I’d do again what I have done

My gentle shovel digs up pain
And I uncover your sin
We will wash away the stain
There’ll be no more pain here again

A happy soul wind fouls the rigging
My gentle shovel’s edge will fade with time
A filled soul needs no more digging
So long to the lovely game we played goodbye

I’ll go back home and settle down
Where gentle shovels are not broken
‘n taken down in this dark town
Where love is felt and never spoken

And my digging makes me lonely and sad
Peel away the pain on this 6th floor
I won’t regret the gold I’ve had
I’ll wait here for you ever more
