Away from ya now

Till the gaffer said, "Men, your work here is done"
In her arms I'll be found
In her arms I'll be found
So I stamped out the fire that kept us both warm
Away from ya now
I'm lyin' with my sweetheart
Far away boys, far away boys
The only thing growin' was my will to die
In her arms I'll be found
Away from ya now
I put my head down and I dreamt you were here
With the heat I was melting into your sweet lips
Away from ya now

A big hole in that rock like the one in my soul
I'm lyin' with my sweetheart
I hammered and I hammered for God knows how long

The ashes were fallin' like the snow drops of old
I'm lyin' with my sweetheart
Lyin' in your place was my hammer and my gear
Ah, your kiss takes me back, takes me back from all this
In her arms I'll be found
Away from ya now
Far away boys, far away boys

Far away boys, far away boys
I said, "I'll see you in Hell, on that train we died for"
We buried four workmen, they dug themselves well
Someone said, it was Christmas but not a tree was in sight
We came to a mountain, dynamite and she'll blow
In her arms I'll be found
I'm lyin' with my sweetheart
Then the sun belched upon me, you were no longer here
They're only paddys, just paddys, don't dig them too deep

But a pissed stained ol' gutter where your lips used to be
Far away boys, far away boys
Far away boys, far away boys
Well, into madness with each setting sun
Never again, will I smell your sweet dream
From four empty coffins to four early graves
You'll need all your strength boys and they're replaced easily
I'm lyin' with my sweetheart
With me by the ol' tree, where no one could care
