Lyrics
Are we more concerned with Crime and Blame?
Various takes on Revolutions and Fame? Or is there -
- change in the air, and a current beneath?
Atmosphere we can breathe, and a fresh weight to 'See'
A Wiser way to Weave, and a love of fresh water and Sea
Climate of Care? Well, just wait and see
Can we afford the suspense, or will it kill... you and me?
It's strange to think it isn't true, Believing for so many years...
Why should the day seem... so empty and -
- cold? .... The Sun still Rises... ?!?
Every morning, Every morning,
The Sun still Rises...
A world which once was brave and bold
Now ... is sending out a warning...
And the lives we live, By the grace of mighty flags
The light and warmth of Fantasies, tied up in many Bags, seek -
- all you know
Tokeep them walls from coming down
So put a note of hope in and colour out the grey
You might just see things coming round and... ...
See a better day...
So, dig down, dig down, dig down, dig down, deep
Dig down, dig down, dig down, dig down, deep
Dig down, dig down, dig down, dig down, deep
Dig down, dig down, dig down, dig down, deep
Dig down, dig down, dig down, dig down, deep
