Strawbs - Where Do You (When You Need A Hole To Crawl In) lyrics

rate me

When you were young you were protected<br />

When you were growing you were sheltered<br />

But when you reached your adult years<br />

You were left alone<br />

And you had no-one to rely on<br />

No-on to care for you<br />

A lost soul in search of some kind of shelter and protection.<br />

<br />

Now where do you run<br />

Where do you hide<br />

Where do you go<br />

When you need a hole to crawl in<br />

Where do you go?<br />

<br />

I found that in our darkest hour<br />

The young ones that I knew and loved well<br />

Beckoned with the memory <br />

Of their alluring spell<br />

And so I gathered up my senses<br />

Bade one and all Godspeed<br />

If my ways were what you desired then love is what you must need.<br />

<br />

I tried to find a consolation<br />

But realised that deep down inside<br />

Consolation is but yet<br />

My all despairing pride<br />

And now I'm dark eyed and bewildered<br />

My guts can feel the strain<br />

My mouth is dry, my chest is tight<br />

And my forehead's lined with the pain.
