    Story Behind the Song
    Written while smitten in Pennsylvania.

    Lyrics
    Coal Boulder, red hot and black
    burning none too cleanly.
    Coal Boulder roll on back
    well, you crushed a new Life today and no you won't look back

    I was standing simple
    I was standing proud
    I was hand in hand
    I was head in clouds

    there were men here
    shoveling heat long before us
    shoveling heat
    where we now scrape our feet.

    This temple now stands around us
    It stands for fire long gone out as do I
    there is Life here, frozen for us
    with diamonds set in soil

    Slipping up now could be catastrophic
    I'd be a sack of meat here at your feet
    but silly Coal Boulder
    if you were but older
    we'd be heavy burnt and black

    there's a house now abandoned on a frozen moore
    I could not ask for more
    there's a pine, we found that river
    I could not ask for more
    You kept the time in mind
    I kept the road in mine
    I wish you'd ask for more
    there's my coat
    and there's the door....

    I am standing solid
    you are standing cold
    the path is fearsome
    but I'm growing bolder
    I'm standing simple
    and I stand alone
    you've shown the path now
    and I'm going home

    Coal Boulder
    please grow colder
    Coal Boulder,
    please Coal Boulder

    Coal Boulder
    please Coal Boulder
    Coal Boulder
    go on home.
