I Mined

It started small, a simple thought
 That there was something wrong
 ♪
 And if it's caught, I could set it right
 Or at least, I could try
 
 And all through the night and down in your eyes
 I mined and mined and mined
 ♪
 Given time, what I looked for I would find
 I was right, I was right, I was right
 ♪
 And every word I overturned like a stone rolling easy
 And all I'd see hidden underneath only served to make me lonely
 Your trouble is like a lens through which the whole world bends
 And then you can't set it straight again
 ♪
 Winter passed, and summer storms came and
 Flashed white in the evening
 ♪
 You came in wet, you were laughing and grinning
 Shook my shoulders, tried to get me smiling
 ♪
 The wind had changed, and the rain was relentless
 Washing everything down the street again
 My slow heart wanted only what was endless, to be helpless
