A Deep Deep Lake
The Jim Yoshii Pile-Up Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's lost is never found
As we go spinning 'round and 'round
Won't, won't you wait awhile
Before you come in
Don't say no more
I can't listen when you're underground
Whoa, tell me something
Just the reasons
'Cause I've been around you for too long for silence now
Run, run away my love
Don't you see a-what you're sayin' is all so wrong
Words that walk away with my soul and keep moving along
Run, run away my love
Don't you see a-what you're sayin' is all so wrong
Words that walk away with my soul and keep moving along
Come on the deep end
Play for keeps and
It ain't exactly what you wanted, darling, stick around
Whoa, now you're leaving
Yes and please then
But don't you ever wonder why it is that I got out
Run, run away my love
Don't you see a-what you're sayin' is all so wrong
Words that walk away with my soul and keep moving along
Run, run away my love
Don't you see a-what you're sayin' is all so wrong
Words that walk away with my soul and keep moving along
Keep moving along
What's lost is never found
So we go spinning 'round and 'round
Things better left unsaid
Confront you as the night creeps in
Run, run away my love
Don't you see a-what you're sayin' is all so wrong
Words that walk away with my soul and keep moving along
Run, run away my love
Don't you see a-what you're sayin' is all so wrong
Words that walk away with my soul and keep moving along
Keep moving along




Keep moving along
Keep moving along
