Hold my weight, if you are able Hold my weight, best as you can Both our feet, under the water Both our feet, will help me to to stand I thought I was gone till you pulled me off the floor Lost my place, just like I told you Lost my place, hide and the hair Guide my way, out of the darkness Guide my way, and I'll meet you there Over where the mountains fall across the shore It's been a long time in the coal mine I was holding the bottom up from below Slow climb to the sunshine But I don't think the devil will let me go Carve our names, into in the canyon Carve our names, into the stone I could be, your hilltop cathedral I could be, the crack in the dome Just might bring the whole thing tumbling to the ground So bring it down It's been a long time So give me sunshine
