about

After two more upbeat tracks, Drunken Sailors hits ya with a somber number! Buried Away tends to be a bit more shy about its meaning and hides behind language a little. But, I hope it's not a labyrinth for the listener. I suppose I tend to write upbeat songs more directly, while songs with their head hanging low are more reserved.

lyrics

Winter's keeping her secrets safe:
locked up in those deadened trees
whose branches don't dare to sway.
They just reach down towards the ground
and scrawl a note to the dying day.
Saying: "kid,
you could learn a lot from me.

Keep it buried away.
Lock it so far inside
it'll never see the light of day.
Buried away."

And you can try to write.
Make your notebook your mirror
till you see yourself between the lines.
Then, take all that ink
that you kept tattooed inside,
and give it to the Winter
so she'll keep it with her
cold, cold, cold, cold night.

Keep it buried away.
Lock it in your labyrinth-heart
so they will never find their way.
Buried away.
