Lyrics Richie Havens

Richie Havens

There's A Hole In The Future

Like the smoke that rises to the ceiling, Mona

I keep seeing the things I seen yesterday

Yet, the wheels keep turning, they keep turning, Mona

Things I am seeing, I just can't say

Like the sun that rises, I keep trying, Mona

To let everyone know that I won't give up

Yes, the water is dripping, can't you taste it, Mona

Lift up your head from that bitter cup

Oh, Mona, don't close the door

The fireman's coming and he's bringing more

Oh, Mona, the gardener's here

He's got loads of dirt, he can plant your hurt

Oh, Mona, the water is on

The water is a-boiling and it won't be long

Won't be long, won't be long, won't be long

Like the hole that's waiting in the future, Mona

It could already be filled when we get there

There's a hole that's waiting in the future, Mona

It could already be filled when we get there

It could already be filled when we get there

It could already be filled when we get there
