Lyrics The Archaeologist - Heather Nova

Every day is like pompeii,
Buried under ash and clay,
Wishing we could push up, push up
Through to the air.

Every little piece of us,
Thinking of the way it was,
Earth has gotta give way someday,
Someone's gonna find our bones,

So dig down, dig down we must,
I'm not afraid of going deep.
I'll be the archaeologist;
You just have to put your faith in me.

Stay close, stay close we must
Hold up the light so we can see.
I'll be the archeologist;
You just have to put your faith in me.
You just have to put your faith in me.

See the sun is setting low,
Coming through the olive groves.
See the boy is running, running,
No time to lose.

Everything we hope to find,
Everything preserved in time,
Love is in the ruins, ruins,
Come take my hand and

Dig down, dig down we must,
I'm not afraid of going deep.
I'll be the archaeologist;
You just have to put your faith in me.

Stay close, stay close we must
Hold up the light so we can see.
I'll be the archeologist;
You just have to put your faith in me.
You just have to put your faith in me.

I've been dreaming, longing, waiting underground.
I've been dreaming, longing, waiting to be found.

So dig down, dig down we must,
I'm not afraid of going deep.
I'll be the archaeologist;
You just have to put your faith in me.

Stay close, stay close we must
Hold up the light so we can see.
I'll be the archeologist;
You just have to put your faith in me.
You just have to put your faith in me.
You just have to put your faith in me.
You just have to put your faith in me.
