Danielle Doyle COALMINE We fell in love before the apple seed, before Adam and Eve Before they found us in the garden We fell in love before 2 X 2, just me and you Before the flood ever started We fell in love before the first born, before the locust swarm Before god caught us lying Chorus: We got married in a coalmine, in a coalmine, in a coalmine You were a lover, not a friend of mine, before the baby was We got married in a coalmine, in a coalmine, in a coalmine, We fell in love before time, before the baby was born We fell in love before the earthquake, before the ground shakes And now we’re living on an island We fell in love before the atom bomb, before right and wrong And now we’re sweeping up our ashes We fell in love before the levies broke, before the fire and smoke Before we lost this town completely Chorus: We got married in a coalmine, in a coalmine, in a coalmine You were a lover, not a friend of mine, before the baby was We got married in a coalmine, in a coalmine, in a coalmine, We fell in love before time, before the baby was born Before I met you, you were a freight train, blowing through every town out west Before you met me, I was a steamship rolling Before I met you, you were a tyrant, raging through the waters wild Before you met me, I was a great lake, looking for a place to hide Before I met you, you were a cyclone, ripping out the seeds we’d sown Before you met me, I was a garden, waiting for you to come on home Chorus: We got married in a coalmine, in a coalmine, in a coalmine You were a lover, not a friend of mine, before the baby was We got married in a coalmine, in a coalmine, in a coalmine, We fell in love before time, before the baby was born
