hole in the floor

from poacher's night by Tim O'Connor

lyrics

when you needed an angel she seemed to appear out of nowhere
and everything seemed suddenly clear
she sat at the table and turned 'round to you
as though she'd always been there
as though she always knew
you'd been lost and afraid

she spoke in a language of moonlight and wind
of a time and a place where our wishes begin
she smelled of sweet orange and of earthy spikenard
a fragrance of promise to lighten the heart
that's been lost and afraid
and so a bargain was made

then she fell through a hole in the floor
she was wearing the kind of smile that draws your eye
and makes you wonder what everything’s for
as she fell through a hole in the floor

she said you've got nothing to lose
your soul is no good to you
when you’re broken and lonely with nothing to prove
you're an empty shell cast up past the high water line
i can take you and make feel like a king through the night
and forget you're lost and afraid
and so a bargain was made

then she fell through a hole in the floor …etc

give me your pain and i'll rewrite the past
i'll enthrone you in glory and i'll be all you ask
and so you foolishly slept in her wicked embrace
and dreamed all those dreams you'd forgotten you'd made
being lost and afraid
and so a bargain was made

then you fell through a hole in the floor …etc

then she fell through a hole in the floor …etc
