Darlin' Hold On

(アルバム： Exit Wounds - 2021)

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

Darling 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

Darling 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 so am I

Darling hold on
I am far but I'm not gone
Hold on
I am always where you are

There in the whistle of a passing train
On down whichever road you take
There in the water staring back
When you kneel down to see your face

Darling 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
