Buried Treasure

from Half Empty by Robin Tymm

/

lyrics

I’ve been waiting for so long
For you to unearth me
I was lost underfoot
And pressed deeper through centuries
Try digging faster
Help speed my recovery

Let’s hope you look over
In this direction
And break my success
Of avoiding detection
So many near misses
I can’t bear to mention

CHORUS
It’s not that I’m claiming to be buried treasure
But don’t let me stay undiscovered.....forever

You could be forgiven
I’m not easy to see
Yeah, you’ve got to get down
On your hands and your knees
Oh, you won’t be the first one
If you fail to notice me

And one day I’m valueless
Best left to rot
And the next I’m a diamond
Mislaid in the dirt
You can sell me for more than you’d think
But for less than I’m worth

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
May-be there’s nothing
To find underneath
We’re just flesh, blood and bones
Only hair, skin and teeth
And before very long
We’re consumed by the ground at our feet

REPEAT CHORUS
