Digging for You

[Verse]
Dirt flies high it paints the air
Mud splashes boots I’ve got to wear
The holes I dig keep calling me back
Sweat on my brow the sky turns black
[Chorus]
Hot days cold nights I’m digging for you
Through the earth through the clay through the gravel too
Your warm touch keeps my heart in tune
Hot days cold nights I’m digging for you
[Verse 2]
The shovel sings a lonely tune
Each strike echoes beneath the moon
Blisters bloom like desert roses
But the thought of you keeps doors unclosing
[Prechorus]
Every swing feels like a prayer
Every ache says you're still there
[Chorus]
Hot days cold nights I’m digging for you
Through the earth through the clay through the gravel too
Your warm touch keeps my heart in tune
Hot days cold nights I’m digging for you
[Bridge]
What lies beneath these broken stones
A buried heart a love unknown
I’d dig forever just to find
A piece of you to call mine

country, raw and gritty, warm, acoustic-driven with a steady stomp-clap rhythm
