about

Track 7 off David Berkeley's Cardboard Boat, his newest album, which pairs with his novella of interweaving short stories called The Free Brontosaurus.

lyrics

Well, lookout, cause if there’s a rise
There’ll soon be a fall
Yeah, here comes the crash

One day we break at the seams
Into pieces and shards
They scatter like ashes

Oh man, I’m falling apart and I don’t know what to do

I’ve got a hole in my heart
It’s big as the blue…

Oh well, winter was rough
And the spring brought no rain
Barely a bloom/ barely got warm

Sure every comeback is hard
There’s rocks on the path
Or then there’s a storm

Ah it knocks you down, breaks you in part yeah the devil knows it’s true. Yeah, you know that it, too.
I’ve got a hole in my heart….

I know all of the time
The sun’s coming up
Somewhere round some bend

But it’s been going down hard
Over the hills
Over my head
It’s been so dark for so long
Hard to find my way through
Let it shine through.

Cause I’ve got a hole in my heart
It’s big as the blue
I’ve got a hole in my heart
I keep stumbling into.
I’ve got a hole in my heart, it’s bigger than you.
I’ve got a hole in my heart.
