James Taylor — Down in the Hole

Watch your head on that root Got to let your eyes adjust I'm sorry about your suit Can't do nothing about the dust Welcome down underground Hunker down a spell Gets to feel like home to me Though I know it looks like hell Down in the hole Lord, it's deep and the sides are steep And the nights are long and cold Down in the hole Light and love And the world above Mean nothing to the mole Don't mean nothing to the mole Never gets real hot down here Fifty five degrees It's always a little bit damp I fear But I've never seem to freeze Mushrooms and earthworms Fancy stuff to eat A world of quiet contemplation oh yes Just below the street Down in the hole Lord, it's deep and the sides are steep And the nights are long and cold Down in the hole Light and love And the world above It's all nothing to the mole I'm in a hole Since I lost my baby Living in a hole Since I lost my girl Would you play in the moonlight Would you dance in the dirt Come home way past daybreak oh yes Cockleburs all stuck in your shirt? Come back home to twilight Come back home to me Subterranean river you are Meets the Molten Sea Down in the hole Lord, it's deep and the sides are steep And the nights are long and cold Down in the hole Light and love And the world above It's all nothing to the mole Down in the hole yeah Light and love And the world above Got nothing for the mole It ain't got nothing for the mole Look out for that, look out for that, look out for that root For that root Welcome down underground Welcome They're just doing what they're supposed to To stay alive Papilloma Gotta do something about this dust, huh
