And now the lyrics:
Underground where the fingertips call her name
Trapped in silence waiting on the shallow plain
I’m searching with my hands & bones
Beneath the snow, there’s something down below
I see her face beneath the snow
So I’ll keep reaching in
I know there’s something down below
So I’ll keep reaching in
How was I supposed to know?
I couldn’t read the words
On your silent tongue
Down the stairway of her open heart
Closer now to where she once belong
She takes me with an open hand
I feel her trying to get out
I see her face beneath the snow
So I’ll keep reaching in
I know there’s something down below
So I’ll keep reaching in
How was I supposed to know?
I couldn’t read the words
On your silent tongue
Oh, how was I supposed to know?
I couldn’t read the words
On your silent tongue
Underground where the fingertips call her name
Trapped in silence waiting on the shallow plain
I’m searching with my hands & bones
Beneath the snow, there’s something down below
I see her face beneath the snow
So I’ll keep reaching in
I know there’s something down below
So I’ll keep reaching in
I know there’s something down below
So I’ll keep reaching in
I know there’s something down below
So I’ll keep reaching in
So I’ll keep reaching in
So I’ll keep reaching in
