Positively Paranoid - Coal Miner's Hymn Lyrics

In the depths of the coal mines he forged his way
A beacon of strength in the endless fray
His hands like stone his spirit bold
Through the darkened tunnels his love told

Oh father your memory's a flame
Burning bright in the depths of my name
Through the dust and the cold your love remains
In every heartbeat in every refrain

Christmas mornings wrapped in your care
Your laughter a melody in the winter air
With every shift you carved our path
In the coal dust your love steadfast

Oh father your memory's a flame
Burning bright in the depths of my name
Through the dust and the cold your love remains
In every heartbeat in every refrain

Your spirit lingers in the silent halls
Whispers of love in the midnight calls
In the depths where darkness reigns
Your love a light that forever remains

Oh father your memory's a flame
Burning bright in the depths of my name
Through the dust and the cold your love remains
In every heartbeat in every refrain

Through the years your memory stays
In the coal miner's hymn in the sun's last rays
Though you're gone your love's embrace
In every heartbeat in every space

Oh father your memory's a flame
Burning bright in the depths of my name
Through the dust and the cold your love remains
In every heartbeat in every refrain
