Buried Down There

 Lyrics by Glen Mofford, Music by Andrew McInnes

Arrangements & Recording by Glen Mofford & Eric Hogg

Intro: Organ, cello, acoustic guitar, violin, then voice.

How soundly can you sleep? It seems without a care,

as a gentle breeze blows the rushes down there.

It’s our secret to keep, I think it only fair,

That we never bring up what we buried down there.

Chorus 1:

What’s done is done, don’t let the past linger on.

We had no choice – it’s there.

Memories you may keep, calm the guilt, cover the lie

A nightmare in the wood buried down there.

Instrumental

It’s our secret to keep, trespassers beware,

if they ever come across what we buried down there.

Chorus 2:

What’s done is done, don’t let the past live on.

Time will heal – almost everyone.

A chair never filled, a question never stilled,

The answer lies buried down there.

The answer lies buried down there.

Yes, the answer lies…

Buried Down There.

From a true story - In 1881 Victoria, BC Canada the Pony Saloon was being replaced with a brick structure when a worker found a human skeleton that had been stuffed in between the floorboards in the back office of the saloon. After some investigation it was determined that the person was a young sailor accidently killed for his money.

This song is from the murderer's point of view.
