Stronghold

(album: Heart Over Mind - 1987)

For a little while
I was living wild
I let my heart run where it wanted to
I was running scared
You were always there
Standing by me
Just like you always do
Guess it took some time
For me to come around
To see what I'd lost
And what I had found

I got a stronghold
I got a will to love
I got a stronghold on this love
I got a stronghold
This time I won't let go
I'll keep a stronghold on this love
I got a stronghold on this love

Many many times
I would fantasize
So much I wanted just to be with you
Wishing it could be
Only you and me
So clear I'd see us like a picture book
Now I know that I
Don't have to pretend
And my hands don't lie
As they hold you in

I got a stronghold
I got a will to love
I got a stronghold on this love
I got a stronghold
This time I won't let go
I'll keep a stronghold on this love
I got a stronghold on this love

I know that you could break away
But I know
I'd be devastated by the blow
For me there's no other way
And I know... I know...

Now I know what's mine
And I won't pretend
And my hands don't lie
As they hold you in

I got a stronghold
I got a will to love
I got a stronghold on this love
I got a stronghold
This time I won't let go
I'll keep a stronghold on this love
I got a stronghold on this love

I got a stronghold
I got a will to love
I got a stronghold on this love
I got a stronghold
This time I won't let go
I'll keep a stronghold on this love
I got a stronghold on this love
