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

See the sun is setting low

Coming through the olive groves

See the boy is running and 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

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
