Keeping our heads all cool
We dipped down and dived as low as we could go
Our wringing hands were waving slow
This is what makes us good,
We tip hats and turn a trick that's made of gold
And touch the skin that cracks and folds
But I would never leave you too
I would never leave you
How have we come to love?
These thick roots which tie us down and make us stop
And still we laugh as they begin to rot
Tickle my fancy through,
We bear fruit that grows as coarse as we have grown
Our heavy arms as crossed as herringbone
But I would never leave you too
I would never leave you
We've blown it, we've spoken
Our young hearts are broken
And all that we need is a home
It's out in the open,
That those days were golden
And all that we need is a home
But I would never leave you too
I would never leave you.
