[Verse]
Pretty strays for hopeless lovers
With racing minds
Empty days filled up with promises
That you deny
Flooded creek now still and quiet
And deep and black
The bed is smooth, the bank is scavenged
Swept of it's past

[Pre-Chorus]
Time will bury all these years
While the verse rings in your ears

[Chorus]
Under the mountain, a century
Under an ocean of memory

[Verse]
If my love should fail and falter
If the horses bolt
And if my luck should take leave of me
For the singing road
If days and nights are inked and numbered
Can you call the count?
If morning breaks like words that shatter
On this hollow ground
[Pre-Chorus]
Time will bury all these years
While the verse rings in your ears

[Chorus]
Under the mountain, a century
Under an ocean of memory
