Dig my love Like spades in dirt Don't let your eyes Be too concerned Feel my pain With these moving hands It's slipping away Like these heavy things It's slipping away Dig my love Like spades in dirt Don't let your eyes Be too concerned And I promise That I can be more Than the things I've learned Don't take the time away from me Don't take the time away from me Don't take the time away from me I'm calm and modern Don't take the time away from me Don't take the time away from me Don't take the time away from me It's slipping away
