Hole In The Sky
Whitesnake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everyday I'm more confused
In my life, you're all I know
Laid your love before me
I thought you knock me down,
You had me screaming for more

There's a hole in the sky,
Don't tell me you're sorry, who cares
There's a tear in my eye,
Don't you tell me you're sorry, who cares

Used to be cool but I ain't no more,
When you told me it was gone
Always playing love songs alone
Without you near,
I'll never make it on my own

There's a hole in the sky,
Don't tell me you're sorry, who cares
There's a tear in my eye,
Don't you tell me you're sorry, who cares

Now every time I want to hold you
You keep your love away from me
Now I can feel it an' I need it close to me
If you really want me, baby if you really care,
You've got to stay right by my side,
You've got to stay right by my side





Cause I need you baby

David Coverdale é inigualável!!

Acer Steel

David's voice is so genuine. You believe every word.

Ferreira Designs

Ace Steeler yes! I absolutely love the tone and emotional quality of his voice…

Mohawk Bikerz

I used to listen for this song almost every night before sleep 1983 back than...Coverdale really knocked me down with his voice..No doubt!

John Maddison

a true classic, coverdales voice brilliant,

Torbjörn Hansson

One of the most beautiful rock-ballads ever written. Funny it is´nt more covered. No singer can reach my emotions like David. It gives other good rock singers but just one Coverdale.

Andy Mangele

By what I've heard David Coverdale wanted Joe Cocker to record it.

summer day

agree... many great singers but for me Davids voice touches me most of all.
