No Relief In Sight
©2010 Neil Porter

There’s a hole in the roof
Where the rain gets in
Can’t get to sleep at night
A hole in my heart
Where the pain gets in
And there’s no relief in sight
He’s got a hole in his heart
And there’s no relief in sight
A hole in his heart
And there’s no relief in sight

The ground’s been shaking
Things are not the same
Mama this can’t be right
The earth’s been quaking
Might do it again
Mama please put this right
He’s got a hole in his heart
And there’s no relief in sight
A hole in his heart
And there’s no relief in sight

You get used to the high life
Ride high in the saddle
And you have a good time
Middle of the lake
Without any paddle
Just have a good time

Hold that rhythm
Hold it tight
Don’t turn it off
Til the time is right
Don’t stop shaking
Shake it right
Shake it, shake it
All through the night
He’s got a hole in his heart
And there’s no relief in sight
A hole in his heart
And there’s no relief in sight

Never believed in Heaven
Didn’t believe a lot
Never did notice
The warning sign
Didn’t hear the warning shot
He’s got a hole in his heart
And there’s no relief in sight
A hole in his heart
And there’s no relief in sight

You get used to the high life
Ride high in the saddle
And you have a good time
Middle of the lake
Without any paddle
Just have a good time
