Epigeal
Epigeal, epigean, epigeic and epigeous are biological terms describing an organism's activity above the soil surface.
In botany, a seed is described as showing epigeal germination when the cotyledons of the germinating seed expand, throw off the seed shell and become photosynthetic above the ground. The opposite kind, where the cotyledons remain non-photosynthetic, inside the seed shell, and below ground, is hypogeal germination.
The terms epigean, epigeic or epigeous are used for organisms that crawl (epigean), creep like a vine (epigeal), or grow (epigeous) on the soil surface: they are also used more generally for animals that neither burrow nor swim nor fly. The opposite terms are hypogean, hypogeic and hypogeous.
An epigeal nest is a term used for a termite mound, the above ground nest of a colony of termites.

Io Io
by: Bee GeesI saw you tonight
In the room where love had started once beforeAnd we opened up the skies
With your loving eyesYou take me back where you belong in my heart
One love frozen in time
Never be a bad love
Yours and mine
But I still remainI will never change
I will always love you
I will always take your part
And all the years of losing youAnd then being close to you againThe very chance that I could take your heart
Your hand in mine
You are inside of me
One more time
Don't you remember me
And the days that lie ahead
May all go wrong
But tonight my loveThere's no question in my mind where we should be
It's clear that you're alone and I'm alone
And all the fools have goneYou open up so tears can fall from your eyes
True love can never die
We can make it one day - if we tryBe there - sunshine or rainI will never change
I will always love youI will always take your part
And all the years of losing you and thenMaking love to you againThe very chance that I could take your heart
Your hand in mine
I got a memory
For all time
Don't you remember me
Now my dream will come trueIf you love me
I will always love you
I will always take your part
And all the years of losing you and thenMaking love to you againThe very chance that I could take your heart
Your hand in mine
