You Were Somewhere, You Thought You Were Nowhere So as the night falls low upon the valley Come the coal men carrying the smoke And as they walk down you give everyone a blessing As they walk down you're sure to let them know That as they go below they are thought of Out of sight in the mine but not forgotten For you have hidden here underneath the red barns And here you stay where the sirens do not sing You got a safe place far from the border No trouble no smoke upon the wind Far away the same day good people do struggle Out of sight in the mine not yet forgotten Trees all asunder sheltering and sullen No one reads maps we've had years being lost You say you found a road out well no one needs to know that You been wrong so many times where's it gonna stop You were somewhere you thought you were nowhere you burnt it down Out of sight in the mine half forgotten And if you ever hear a bell toll out beyond the obelisk Grab what you can carry and forget about the rest I'm almost through the field you're still looking for the documents I got half of the harvest got a fistful of bread You were somewhere you thought you were nowhere you burnt it down Out of sight in the mine soon forgotten You are a child of the cloth and you've rarely been truthful You can only be yourself when you're wearing a mask You got no love for people and the feeling is mutual You been looking for that coal dust down in the dark You were somewhere you thought you were nowhere you burnt it down Out of sight in the mine as if forgotten It's in the water the rainfall the river You picked it up and it poured away You say you like to live alone how do you like to feel at home Underneath the channel in the wet mud and clay You were somewhere you thought you were nowhere you burnt it down Out of sight in the mine nearly forgotten I'm not my father and you're not your mother Our weight is all our own We have never been more than we can carry And we got to measure everything in muscle and bone And in coal alone there is a blackness Out of sight in the mine almost forgotten You leave the barn and right away it's dark inside You take the light the moment you are gone And from here on the hillside the cries from the coach road A noise like boys travels far from home You were somewhere you thought you were nowhere you burnt it down Out of sight in the mine forgotten
