Left Me In A Hole

Divorcee goes to the bars

A sophisticat pulls up in his car

A hopeful youth waits for the first star to come out

The sky above can be so mean, the clouds cover what should be seen

And there ain't much left to keen in my book

Hangin' on to someone else, he tells you that peace sells

And you see him like all's well, I ain't jealous

Though you used to listen to me,

My inner thoughts have made you flee

I know you were just tryin' to be what you want to be

I let you in to see me for real

And you walked right out that's what I feel

You said you needed time to be alone

And like the youth I looked above

Feeling stranded without love

The time was wrong, and you left me in a hole

You left me in hole (you left me in a hole)

You left me in hole

The rain it comes, the rain it goes

The question is, she friend or foe

The story-teller looks to his toes, he's stuck here

The dragon's breath is on my neck

Which way is home, hold on a sec

The bartender put a bottle of beer on the table

Many people, they believe that Jesus came here to relieve

All the problems that we breathe on each other

And I don't care just what you do,

Or what you think, that's up to you

You see, those thoughts of yours are not new to me at all

And is it these thoughts that made you believe

That there's nothing here so you shall leave

While I sit here with my guitar in my hand

A hungry baby starts to cry, an old man's about to die

And all I can do is sit back and sigh, what's my problem

Ignore the problem, that's the key

Said the woman beneath the tree

If your eyes are closed, you can't see the sunrise

The phone, it rings, who could it be

Well, it ain't her, and it's not for me

Forgetting's as easy as 1-2-3 my friends say

Her face is still all too clear, her leaving me was my biggest fear

Something's got to help me steer away from her

You have your life, and I have mine,

Maybe we'll meet again some other time

Down the long road, on another plain

You left me in hole (you left me in a hole)...
