lyrics

"My man, he doesn't know, where he walks and why he goes - a buried body can't know. My girl, she lives alone, doesn't talk and hides her own - a buried heart can't grow. Beneath the sea, a snowbird sways and gives it's arms up to pray - a buried weight just can't grow. Beneath the seas, we're set in ways, that our hands just can't change. A body is a lonely home."
