Townes Van Zandt - The hole слова песни

by Townes Van Zandt

The old woman finally caught me
Sneakin` `round her cave
Her hair looked just like barbwire, boys
and her smile just like the grave
She asked me could I stay awhile
I said I`d better go
She slid her arm around my neck
and sweetly whispered no

It`s cold and dark and lonely here
as soon enough you`ll see
I`m oh so glad you stumbled in
I`ve been cravin` company
I cannot stay too long you know
I left some friends at home
Don`t you fret about your friends
Down here we`re all alone

What about my mother
I can`t just leave her there to mourn
You don`t have to think about her
Just forget you were ever born
I`ll disappoint my father
you know he worked so hard for me
If you have to pay your father back
Just send him some misery

I`ll miss, I said, a girl I know
I can`t just leave there to pine
she`s still got plenty of men to go
I`m sure she`ll do just fine
What about my little boy
She said, he`s just like you
Let a few short years roll by
He`ll end up down here too

Then her pale green eyes began to glow
she placed her hand on mine
she smiled and said don`t worry
you`ll get used to me in time
As her cold tongue flickered toward
I spun myself around
made a dive for the passageway
but the walls come crashing down

Now her eyes were the only light
my fevered brain could see
but I tore myself away from them
and fell down to my knees
I`ve come too far, I can`t get back
I beseeched the Gods of men
fame and fortune just laughed at me
then silence once again

A whisper deep within
embrace the God of Love
I lifted my face and through the tears
I saw light fall from above

I hurled myself into the wall
I ripped and clawed my way
through the stinkin`, clingin` loam
back to the light of day
I crawled out into the wind again
the sky upon my face
I heard the earth sigh patiently
as it slid back into place

Now I`m back among the ones I love
I`m loved by them in turn
and it`s only on the darkest night
that green eyed memory burns
So walk my friends, in the light of day
don`t go sneakin` `round no holes
there justmight be something down there
wants to gobble up your soul
