Lyrics: Marc Cohn. The American Landscape. Dig Down Deep.


Baby let?s go below the surface
See what we can find
There?s no reason to be nervous
?Cause it happens all the time

I don?t want to go up to the mountain
I don?t need to go down to the sea
Gonna sit right here ?till we unravel
The mystery

While the lights of the city
Are shining below
Gonna hold onto you girl
And never let go
While everyone else is just walking around
In their sleep
Baby let?s dig down
Dig down deep
I wanna dig down deep

And I don?t wanna wait until tomorrow
?Cause the fortune said that ?The time is now?
It?s time to find out what we?re doing
What we?re doing anyhow

Let?s go out in the moonlight
And walk for awhile
Maybe stay up all night and we could
Talk for awhile
Kick off your shoes
?Cause you?ve got nothing to lose
But your sleep
Baby let?s dig down
Dig down deep
I wanna dig down deep

It?s an open invitation
So baby don?t you cry
It?s a life long celebration
And I think we?re right on time
It?s a feeling in your heart
And a lump in the throat
It?s a strange and lovely ride
Wanna dig down deep inside

While the lights of the city
Are shining below
Gonna hold onto you girl
And never let go
While everyone else is just walking around
In their sleep
Baby let?s dig down
Dig down deep
I wanna dig down deep

Could you dig down deep
I wanna dig down deep
