Oh, my darling
Well I’m lost in the smoke
I would die to save our son, I think we're dying for us both
I write it all down, when you get here, to prove
That our god, he left the coal mine, and the devil came through
It’s half past two
Everybody from our crew
Cannot think or speak or move
But for a lonely, lying few
Tell me who
Can come and save me from this tomb
Give me strength to stand and move
And bust through boulders back to you
Found a safe haven to wait out the wreck
Little Elbert is saved by the lord, so he says
It don’t seem right, now that I’ve come to
That in the fight for our lives, we’ve got nothing to do
There’s so much to lose
Summer nights in county pools
Halloween costumes
Breathing with you
Tell me who
Can come and save me from this tomb
Give me strength to stand and move
And bust through boulders back to you
Oh, I want to go back
To this morning, when I woke and saw your face
To the breakfast that I left there on the plate
There’s a yearning now, what more is there to bear?
To never leave them, never leave them there
Oh, Ellen, oh, Ellen
Well it’s been done before
Why can I not be the man who turned the ocean to a floor?
Oh, Ellen
Well it’s just not fair
That I praised the man who did it, and now he’s just not there
Oh, I want to go back
To the ‘90s, we were dancing in the rain
To my 20s, when you couldn’t test my faith
Now I’m leaving, if it’s for a better place
Will you meet me there?
