Jim Tyrrell - A Hole In The Rain

from SpinTunes 21 Round 1 by Spintunes

lyrics

You know I, I don’t know why
I’d ever go outside On a day like this
But there they are, out stopping cars
In my front yard, in their Safety vests

They’ve been out there since November
Just chipping the road away
And as best I can remember
They haven’t missed a day

It don’t seem fair, someone somewhere
Decided they’re going to work today

Nobody knows
Why they’re digging a hole in the rain
Digging down down down down

When I came down, to this little town
I thought I’d found a quiet place
But as I begin to settle in
Here I am again, right back in the race

So I’m looking out the window
Thinking that was me back then
Digging my own holes not long ago
And watching them fill back in

It don’t seem right, to be forced to fight
All day and night against my fate

Nobody knows
Why they’re digging a hole in the rain
Nobody knows
Why they’re digging a hole in the rain
Digging down down down down
