There's A Hole In The Future Lyrics - Singles - Richie Havens

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
