Yeah, chucking and chopping…. many times I say…
Is this the only way…is it the only way…
Yeah, smashing and sloshing…how do I get through?
Get through the dark to the light in you…
Pieces of the puzzle…a few months it's been
Like the blackened coal I've predictably seen…
You love, your very soul…. here with me once again…
With regret I get through another dark and lonesome day
Yeah, chucking and chopping the dangerous words I say
For a coal miner's heart and hands have given way…
Cause I'm still here smashing and sloshing my broken heart
Fighting my way down a lonely tunnel in the dark
Oh, my troubles not few…
Chucking and chopping my way back to you
So how do I show that I still love you so?
Like the coal dust that represses me still…
You sweet love and kisses subdue my free will…
If only your forgiving eyes could light up my heart
And finally emancipate the sledgehammer that broke us apart
Yeah, chucking and chopping… many times I say…
Is this the only way…is it the only way…
Yeah, smashing and sloshing…how do I get through?
Get through the dark to the light in you…
Get through the dark to the light in you…
