《The Hole》歌词

[00:00:11] By townes van zandt

[00:00:12] The old woman finally caught me

[00:00:15] Sneakin' 'round her cave

[00:00:18] Her hair looked just like barbwire boys

[00:00:21] And her smile just like the grave

[00:00:25] She asked me could I stay awhile

[00:00:28] I said I'd better go

[00:00:31] She slid her arm around my neck

[00:00:34] And sweetly whispered no

[00:00:38] It's cold and dark and lonely here

[00:00:41] As soon enough you'll see

[00:00:43] I'm oh so glad you stumbled in

[00:00:46] I've been cravin' company

[00:00:51] I cannot stay too long you know

[00:00:53] I left some friends at home

[00:00:57] Don't you fret about your friends

[00:00:59] Down here we're all alone

[00:01:04] What about my mother

[00:01:06] I can't just leave her there to mourn

[00:01:09] You don't have to think about her

[00:01:12] Just forget you were ever born

[00:01:17] I'll disappoint my father

[00:01:19] You know he worked so hard for me

[00:01:22] If you have to pay your father back

[00:01:25] Just send him some misery

[00:01:29] I'll miss I said a girl I know

[00:01:32] I can't just leave there to pine

[00:01:35] She's still got plenty of men to go

[00:01:38] I'm sure she'll do just fine

[00:01:42] What about my little boy

[00:01:45] She said he's just like you

[00:01:48] Let a few short years roll by

[00:01:50] He'll end up down here too

[00:01:54] Then her pale green eyes began to glow

[00:01:57] She placed her hand on mine

[00:02:00] She smiled and said don't worry

[00:02:03] You'll get used to me in time

[00:02:07] As her cold tongue flickered toward

[00:02:10] I spun myself around

[00:02:13] Made a dive for the passageway

[00:02:16] But the walls come crashing down

[00:02:23] Now her eyes were the only light

[00:02:26] My fevered brain could see

[00:02:29] But I tore myself away from them

[00:02:31] And fell down to my knees

[00:02:36] I've come too far I can't get back

[00:02:39] I beseeched the gods of men

[00:02:42] Fame and fortune just laughed at me

[00:02:44] Then silence once again

[00:02:46] A whisper deep within

[00:02:52] Embrace the god of love

[00:02:54] I lifted my face and through the tears

[00:02:57] I saw light fall from above

[00:03:01] I hurled myself into the wall

[00:03:04] I ripped and clawed my way

[00:03:08] Through the stinkin' clingin' loam

[00:03:10] Back to the light of day

[00:03:11] I crawled out into the wind again

[00:03:17] The sky upon my face

[00:03:20] I heard the earth sigh patiently

[00:03:22] As it slid back into place

[00:03:30] Now I'm back among the ones I love

[00:03:33] I'm loved by them in turn

[00:03:36] And it's only on the darkest night

[00:03:38] That green eyed memory burns

[00:03:43] So walk my friends in the light of day

[00:03:45] Don't go sneakin' 'round no holes

[00:03:49] There justmight be something down there

[00:03:51] Wants to gobble up your soul
