Jeremy Parks – Buried Treasure lyrics

A week ago, I drove down, to the older part of town
Stopped off at the antique store, and I had a look around
Covered up with clutter, in the corner by the door
I saw a buried treasure, I'd overlooked before
I said, "this old clock sure looks fine, but tell me sir, will she chime"
He said, "son, that's up to you, if you put in the time"
I knew what he was sayin', I knew the time was now
To uncover buried treasure, I prayed my heart knew how
Now I'm takin' time to scrape away the layers
Remove old stains and painted shades of gray
Uncover the heart of the matter, love's still waiting underneath
To restore this buried treasure, to what our love used to be
Thinkin’ 'bout you and me, what we have, what we need
I recall when love was new, midnight memories
Up all night a-talkin', holdin' onto my best friend
A priceless buried treasure, to love that way again
Now I'm takin' time to scrape away the layers
Remove old stains and painted shades of gray
Uncover the heart of the matter, love's still waiting underneath
To restore this buried treasure, to what our love used to be
Instrumental
So could we take some time to scrape away the layers
Remove old stains and painted shades of gray
Uncover the heart of the matter, love's still waiting underneath
Waiting just like buried treasure, to be found by you and me
Let’s uncover the heart of the matter, love’s still waiting underneath
Waiting just like buried treasure, to be found,, by you and me.
