Holding On

Baby, now don't look back Don't let those feelings start Don't let the line go slack When you're pulling it all apart How to describe the sky Or dismantle a beating heart Guess, we're just holding on Baby, we're holding on Honey, we're holding on To the world Seeking assurances Some kind of guarantee There has to be more than this, oh now More than the eye can see Holding the lanterns high While we sink with our vanity I guess, we're just holding on Baby, we're holding on Honey, we're holding on To the world Here we are holding on Baby, we're holding on Honey, we're holding on To the world Now I'm gonna love you Like the spring bursts from the ground Unfurling from the ground Unfurling from the ground Faces of buildings, trees All that is stoned, inert Here in these empty streets Well, it silently does assert That we are just passing ghosts, honey Vapors of joy and hurt And here we are holding on Baby, we're holding on Honey, we're holding on To the world Baby we're holding on Oh yeah, we are holding on Hey now, we're holding on Baby we're holding on Here we are holding on Baby, we're holding on Guess we're just holding on to the world Baby, we're holding on to the world --- Holding On - David Gray
