Archeology
Lyrics
Archeology

It's been too long, it's all broken down
All the roads that took me once to you
But in these ruins there must be a sign
of all the others who passed through

There must be a path to love even if we have to dig to China
There must be a path to love, surely we can find it
and unearth its art

I never studied archeology, it's just that I am feeling old
Like a broken peace of pottery filled with stories to be told

There must be a path to love even if we have to dig to China
There must be a path to love, surely we can find it
and unearth its art

If I could build a bridge I would build it here
Over the chasm that keeps us apart
If I could hold your hand I would lead you here
Across the channel to my heart

It's been so hard I had given up
Folded my map and headed home
Picked up a pebble for a souvenir
It turned into a shiny stone

There must be a path to love even if we have to dig to China
There must be a path to love, surely we can find it
and unearth its art
