Some descend far under the sea

Others abseil down underground

But its inside part of each of us

The deepest of caverns are found

 

The deepest caverns are in the heart

Mysterious and echoing and ever dank

Grottos where dreams wither and die

Where a million loves dried and shrank

 

Love is deeper than anyone can go

There's no bottom to that chasm

Its a death zone of hidden desires

A graveyard of love's every spasm

 

The deepest caverns are in the heart

Mysterious and echoing and ever dank

Grottos where dreams wither and die

Where a million loves dried and shrank

 

Under a specious facade of stability

A black hole sucks in your emotions

Its a dark infinity of the unconscious

Far beyond even our wildest notions

 

The deepest caverns are in the heart

Mysterious and echoing and ever dank

Grottos where dreams wither and die

Where a million loves dried and shrank

 

LIght is the nemesis of despondency

A sole candle can mitigate the abyss

Better still is the unwrapping of love

That turns on a chandlelier with a kiss

 

The deepest caverns are in the heart

Mysterious and echoing and ever dank

Grottos where dreams wither and die

Where a million loves dried and shrank
