×Digger Gumpus×

Sit in close, don’t drift too far Stay where all the warm flames are The Wind is whisperin’ through the tall dark pines Callin’ out names both yours....and mine [Instrumental] If you hear him… don’t you reply Keep your eyes on the burning firelight Digger Gumpus in the hills Silent feet and colder chills Step away, he knows your name You won’t ever be the same Digger Gumpus… don’t look back Once you wander… off the track Past the glow where shadows creep He will take you away… in your sleep Old folks say he digs down deep Under roots where secrets sleep Lives alone where no one goes In the dark where no light glows If a branch snaps… real late at night Stay real still… hold close the light! Digger Gumpus out in the hills Silent hands and a voice that shrills Dont Step away, just one wrong turn And the fire for you will never burn...again Digger Gumpus… hear him hum Digging closer.. hear him, come Past the glow where shadows creep He will take you away… in your sleep Bridge (whispered / spoken) They found a lone shoe… down by the stream No one heard a single scream Just the wind… and something near… Breathin’ slow… behind your ear Digger Gumpus out in the night Waitin’ just beyond the light If you stray… you'll disappear No one finds you.. so please Stay near Digger Gumpus… don’t you roam Stay right where the fire’s home Hold the glow and don’t let go… Or he’ll take you… down below… (fade out, repeat softly) “…down below…” “…down below…” [Music fades out]
