James Taylor Down in the Hole lyrics

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

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
Cocklebur's all stuck in your shirt

Come back home to twilight
Come back home to me
Subterranean river you are
Meets the molten sea

I'm in a hole
Since I lost my baby
Living in a hole
Since I lost my girl
