Lyrics
Holding On
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Driving home along the Hudson, the water shivers in the night
I look where you live, it draws me in but I don't want to fight
Making plans for some future heaven, some cocoon for eternal life
We know it's crazy but it keeps us sane, it brings the heaviness to light
All the golden tint of our predictions may be exactly what both of us see, but
Today is a long way from then and who can tell how we will feel, I'm just
Holding on to you
Holding on for some decision to end this impatience
I won't let go
Three years and counting since we lost our innocence, a heart of gold I had found
But your life was calling, and you had to answer, and I was homeward bound
Your touch, your voice, the only things that help me make any sense of this
I miss you, all your delight, but what's the difference? Without you here I'm just
Holding on to you
Holding on for some decision to end this impatience
I won't let go
I'm holding on to you
Holding on for some incision to cut this relation
I won't let go
Now it seems it's never enough, whether we're here or apart
And I've been thinking way too hard baby, when are you gonna start?
