i heard there were jewels somewhere
deep beneath the ground and
I’ve got forever to stick around
I dugand dug and dug deep into the ground
and then i forgot what i was looking for
so i sat at the bottom and looked up
and said “this is where i shall live”
nothing can reach me here, nothing but I
but as long as i waited, i never fell away
and it finally occurred to me that maybe
this is not where i wanted to be
until you dug a tunnel and ran right into me
and together we climbed, climbed to be free
if we dig a hole to hide
we’ll only have mountains twice as high to climb
and when i reached the top, the wind was pure
and clean, it was then that i realized
the only jewels are clear to see
i surely did find buried treasure
after i buried me
