Dig

I had big idea
 I had a lazy eye
 I broke the sacred seal
 I told a lazy lie
 I've had my conscience bent
 I've had my patience tried
 I've been up in the desert
 And down by the riverside
 Will the eagle try
 If the sky's untrue?
 Do the faithful sigh
 Because they are so few?
 Remember when I cried?
 Remember when you knew?
 Remember that look in your eyes?
 I know I do
 And count the stars to measure tme
 The earth is hard, the treasure fine
 To the sea I'll crawl on my knees
 Feel it coming in
 Feel it going out
 Water covers sand
 Blood covers doubt
 So I begin again
 Again, the healing bow
 There was a time that I might have surrendered
 But not now
 Consult the cards to measure mine
 The earth is hard, but the treasure fine
 At the sea, I'll wait on my knees
