lyrics

GREAT BIG HOLE

I see you’re a little green from the rain
Only took a few more years
and tears
runnin’ through into our veins
Still they make a man grow
like the wild weeds
down in the valley

We were undercover of fog
but then the storm came
with the wind
Us like birds
flying next to waterfalls
blown into a spin

We’d been leaning on the shoulders of the sky
only to slide down on
peak to slope
Had no time to fly the in-between
Swallowed deep and low
into this great big hole

Thought we were so secure
strong and so intimidating
like giants
standing tall
Can’t move a mountain
I recall

With our egos up in the heavens
and our heads in the clouds
not even the eagle could see
an emptiness so deep
Desolation forming
Running downstream
to a new misery

We’d been leaning on the shoulders of the sky
only to slide down on
peak to slope
Had no time to fly the in-between
Swallowed deep and low
into this great big hole

Like wildflowers our seed is sown,
not to design
Songbirds and butterflies
secrete addiction to desire
Hanging in, Gravity
He waits on wilted stems
We can’t escape the cavities
until we see
that the light is bent

We’d been leaning on the shoulders of the sky
only to slide down on
peak to slope
Had no time to fly the in-between
Swallowed deep and low
into this great big hole

Into this great big hole
