The Wallflowers - Darlin' Hold On
текст песни

You were born on your feet
With the stem of a rose between your teeth
From a cloud of golden air
Where the sky meets the city streets
You were already wise
To a world that's bitter as it's sweet
With both kinds of magic
And God never gets his sleep
Now, darlin' hold on
I am far but I'm not gone
Hold on
I am always where you are
Hold on
I am far but I'm not gone
Hold on
Some stars they don't shine as long as others
They just slide and slip away
Sun goes down and tomorrow
Doesn't call their names
Light as a feather white as snow
Like lanterns off they go
As if whoever brought them here
Has come to take them home
Now, darlin' hold on
I am far but I'm not gone
Hold on
I am always where you are
Hold on
I am far but I'm not gone
Abandoned and locked out and pressed to the fire
Been tricked into thinking you're the one that's on trial
Backed into a corner you've been hung up to dry
If you're there (if you're there) so am I (so)
Now, darlin' hold on
I am far but I'm not gone
Hold on
I am always where you are (hold on)
There in the whistle of a passing train
On down whichever road you take (hold on)
There in the water staring back
When you kneel down to see your face
My darlin' hold on
I am far but I'm not gone
Hold on
I am always where you are
Hold on
I am far but I'm not gone
Hold on
