Lyrics
Oh my dear what more can we do?
I feel so helpless, don’t you?
This whole place began to self destruct
Long before we ever showed up
I can hold them off for a small while
Give your head start a few more miles
But once I go down you’re on your own
Don’t stop till you get back home
And give my love to everyone there
Tell them we were right all along
How the music carried soft in the air
Till the sword suffocated the song
Down in the diving bell, drowning in the wishing well
I’m still on the fence but I know you’ll never believe it if I don’t make it
So I might as well
Don’t be a stranger don’t forget to write
Nobody does but I hope you’ll try
All the empty mines and blown out hills
Only stood at last to forge our will
One fine day I’m gonna wake up when
What’s lost came back again
And life will still be what it always was––
A drunk dance to the next gold rush
I’d need another lifetime baby, I’d need another voice to be sure
To get to all the things that need saying, is this the way things always were?
Down in the diving bell, drowning in the wishing well
I’m still on the fence but I know you’ll never believe it if I don’t make it
So I might as well
