In another life

You and I worked West Virginia coal mines

Side by side

Collecting the black dust like sin

The day the main shaft caved in

I caught your eye

As the lantern light guttered out

And the afterdamp swallowed us slowly

I gripped your hand

And caught a glance

Of the next time 'round

In another life

You and I were Red Guards in training

Side by side

We marched on Tiananmen
