Talking Heads - In Asking Land lyrics

Gone away Someone else son's gone Every night I lie here Hard hurt heart That holds the door Buried in time Lay in the factory bleeding And all the time they walk the line And all the time in asking land Why can't I go with them, down they go Why are we left behind? There'll come a day There'll be an open door How can we get there? We've lost the way Memory Is the strangest thing What a day For dreaming There's a flame Whose light still shines Leading us out Through fields and bridges And all the time they walk the line And all the time in asking land All the miners breathing underground Is there anyone there? What is a man? What are we working for? What will we find there So far away? Cold Cold, and the spanners waving Time No matter what they say My search, crawling Like a wet, cold miner And I wonder, wonder I wonder, wonder And all the time they walk the line And all the time in asking land I seen gra**es grow through rock and stone I can picture his face Narrow my head There lies that open door What does it matter How long we wait? What does it mean? Is there no golden law? Now that he's done It's not the same
