Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
[Intro]
"We're either going to save the whole-
Either going to save the whole world, or no part
[Unintelligible chatter]"
[Verse 1]
Listen now, heed the warning
Can't you hear the planet's cries?
With the storm, comes the fury
Mankind look towards the skies
[Pre-Chorus]
Burn the weeds
Tend the fire
On the wind
Rising higher
[Chorus]
There's a hole in the sky
Are we blind?
Hole in the sky
Can't you see?
Hole in the sky
Are we blind?
Hole in the sky
Can't you see?
[Verse 2]
Come the sun, come the wind
Ultraviolet radiation
Bring the flood, from the sea
Breaking down communication
[Pre-Chorus]
Burn the weeds
Feed the fire
On the wind
Rising higher
[Chorus]
There's a hole in the sky
Are we blind?
Hole in the sky
Can't you see?
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Listen now, heed the warning
Bring the land to devastation
Come the thunder, come the rain
See the end of all creation
[Pre-Chorus]
Burn the weeds
Feed the fire
On the wind
Rising higher
[Chorus]
There's a hole in the sky
Are we blind?
Hole in the sky
Can't you see?
Hole in the sky
Are we blind?
Hole in the sky
Can't you see?
Burn the wheat
Feed the fire
On the wind
Rising higher
There's a hole in the sky
Are we blind
Hole in the sky
Can't you see
"We're either going to save the whole-
Either going to save the whole world, or no part
[Unintelligible chatter]"
[Verse 1]
Listen now, heed the warning
Can't you hear the planet's cries?
With the storm, comes the fury
Mankind look towards the skies
[Pre-Chorus]
Burn the weeds
Tend the fire
On the wind
Rising higher
[Chorus]
There's a hole in the sky
Are we blind?
Hole in the sky
Can't you see?
Hole in the sky
Are we blind?
Hole in the sky
Can't you see?
[Verse 2]
Come the sun, come the wind
Ultraviolet radiation
Bring the flood, from the sea
Breaking down communication
[Pre-Chorus]
Burn the weeds
Feed the fire
On the wind

There's a hole in the sky
Are we blind?
Hole in the sky

Burn the wheat
Feed the fire
On the wind
Rising higher
There's a hole in the sky
Are we blind
Hole in the sky
Can't you see

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
The track addresses the topic of environmental destruction and its consequences on the planet, depicting a sense of urgency and a call to action to address the damage being inflicted on Earth. It warns of helping the earth before it's too late and emphasizes the importance of collective action to preserve the Earth for future generations.
