Another Hole
|
|
| [Verse 1] Boots by the back door Dust on my knees Sunburnt shoulders Gum leaves in the breeze You’re sipping your tea Halfway through the news I tap on the flyscreen Say “Got something to tell you” [Chorus] “Dad? I dug another hole” Yeah I know I know Said the last one was the last But the shovel got rolling Mate “Dad? I dug another hole” Don’t be mad Don’t be mad It’s just me Trying to make the backyard whole [Verse 2] There’s one by the fence line One near the shed One where you told me “The pipes run under there” I swear I was careful Just chasing some gold Or maybe a secret Only dirt kids know [Chorus] “Dad? I dug another hole” Yeah I know I know Said the last one was the last But the shovel got rolling Mate “Dad? I dug another hole” Don’t be mad Don’t be mad It’s just me Trying to make the backyard whole [Outro] One day I’ll be taller Maybe fill them in Till then it’s bare feet Red clay on my skin Calling through the screen door Like a half-grown soul “Hey Dad? I dug another hole” |
