Chorus 1
Don't dig a foxhole
I'll build a new home
That would lie on pavement
Solid foundation
For a family you'll grow
Two daughters you'll show
How a dark place found light
How a heart might grow bright
Verse 3
same as first two)
If I was man enough to break your wrist
I'd send you back to rethink all who made your list
Of ones to care and call and fix from love
Mirror on the wall that won't release your right to trust
We're all the packs of souls we tried to save
Burn hot the bodies these souls have no hold on me
My love I'm crying I have never sold
The world the truth about this place
Just please don't you
Chorus 2
same as first)
Don't dig a foxhole
I'll build a new home
That would lie on pavement
Solid foundation
For a new way of life
For a point to survive
Don't dig a foxhole
I'll build a new home
That would lie on pavement
Solid foundation
For a family you'll grow
Two daughters you'll show
How a dark place found light
How a heart might grow bright
Bridge
While you're sleepless dream in memories of a time you felt alive
The warmth of life is precious to your eyes
Find a spot you plan to marry and bury it in deep dark earth
Return to it, come back here to me
Chorus 3
same as other two)
Don't dig a foxhole
I'll build a new home
That would lie on pavement
Solid foundation
For a family you'll grow
Two daughters you'll show
How a dark place found light
How a heart might grow bright
Don't dig a foxhole
I'll build a new home
That would lie on pavement
Solid foundation
For a new way of life
For a point to survive
Don't dig a foxhole
I'll build a new home
Would lie on pavement
Solid foundation
For a family you'll grow
Two daughters you'll show
How a dark place found light
And a heart might grow bright
