Coal Mines & Wishing Wells

You threw your coal mine canary down the wishing well Hoping he would return with a tale to tell But you know it isn’t true He’s never coming back to you But you won’t know unless you let go How do you get from a coal mine back to a wishing well How do you get a moment passing through time to stand still So take me back to tire swings and times when time stood still When I asked you if you loved me and you said you always will But I know there is no way That you and I could ever stay But you won’t survive if you don’t learn to say goodbye How do you get from a coal mine back to a wishing well How do you get a moment passing through time to stand still In this world of constant change Some things have the nerve to stay the same How do you get from a coal mine back to a wishing well How do you get a moment passing through time to stand still In this world of constant change Some things have the nerve to stay the same
