From the recording The Hurt & The Humour
Lyrics
A winding path to the lake
Beneath the trees of my grave
A gentle rain soakes me whole
At least I’m not here on my own
The lake it shimmers through the trees
And sees me
So the undertaker smiles
Curse the love he found in time
’Cause what I’m gonna say
And what I’m gonna do
Will hurt you
I’ve dug another ditch
I’ve dug another grave
To fall into
The lake lay silent and still
Just as you and I will
The house guards the water’s edge
Silent fulfilling its pledge
The walls they weep from the rain
Rotten
So the undertaker smiles
Curse the love he found in time
’Cause what I’m gonna say
And what I’m gonna do
Will hurt you
I’ve dug another ditch
I’ve dug another grave
To fall into
No one can burn this house down
No one can burn this ancient ground
The water is your mirror here
No fear
So the undertaker smiles
Curse the love he found in time
’Cause what I’m gonna say
And what I’m gonna do
Will hurt you
I’ve dug another ditch
I’ve dug another grave
To fall into
