In the Place Where the Lost Things Are Lyrics

IN THE PLACE WHERE THE LOST THINGS ARE

Oh she lived in the Forest where the trees grew high

Her daddy was a miner, she never knew why

He was brave and clever should have stayed in school

But now he lives by the Company's rules

You will find his heart, you will find his soul

In the place where the lost things are

She ran away with a collier's son

Just seventeen, he needed some fun

They hid in the forest and drank from the well

Where the Devil and his son were creating Hell

You will find their hearts, you will find their souls

In the place where the lost things are

With eyes on each other the two lovers teased

They played and danced and rolled in the leaves

Never sensed any danger never knew no fear

Then the Devil cried I smell Angels near

You will find their hearts, you will find their souls

In the place where the lost things are

The boy and the Devil commenced to fight

Their blood ran hot in the dawning light

She screamed my God, he's killed you my dear

And the Devil said Son your Bride lies here

You will find her heart, you will find her soul

In the place where the lost things are

Now the wind blows cold in the blood red well

Two lovers lost and condemned to Hell

The miner cries She's dead and cold

Dear God redeem her precious soul

You will find her heart, you will find her soul

In the place where the lost things are
