Down In The Hole Lyrics - James Taylor

Woody walked out of the cotton field 

In his head he had words that his lips concealed 

And an old airstrip where the weeds are growin' 

To a burned out bomber with the cockpit glowin' 

With the key from a room to the Skyview Motel 

He scratched words in the wing as a falling star fell 

The moon sees you, the moon sees me 

The moon sees who I want to see 

I'll see you soon 

Down in the light of the melon moon 

Down in the light of the melon moon 

On the other side of town and another side of life 

Down in the light of the melon moon 

Stella holds her breath and stares at the knife 

Down in the light of the melon moon 

She looks to the sky at the flash of a star 

Down in the light of the melon moon 

And just sees a man and a plane and a war 

Down in the light of the melon moon 

From a drawer by the bed she opens a book 

Down in the light of the melon moon 

To a sketch on a napkin that's torn half in two 

The moon sees you, the moon sees me 

The moon sees who I want to see 

I'll see you soon 

Down in the light of the melon moon 

Down in the light of the melon moon 

She doesn't feel lucky, she doesn't feel lost 

Down in the light of the melon moon 

She just feels like leavin', what ever the cost 

Down in the light of the melon moon 

Past the Skyview Motel with a man on her mind 

Down in the light of the melon moon 

Half her life in the headlights the other half behind 

Down in the light of the melon moon 

Passed a military truck by a cemetery wall 

Down in the light of the melon moon 

I guess good luck is better than no luck at all 

The moon sees you, the moon sees me 

The moon sees who I want to see 

I'll see you soon 

Down in the light of the melon moon 

Down in the light of the melon moon 

Down in the light of the melon moon 

Down in the light of the melon moon
