Hold me up So I can see you Hold me down If running's what's got into me What cries my name I won't set you away
Oh I'm older Still the years give And I'll walk into the big line And I'll hold me And soon I'm in the big door And your deceit is growing big
Oh, I know That you rather be somewhere else But I'm not here all alone Trying to wish you so
Hold me down If I've got the fear Hold me up If running's what's gotten into me Cause cry as I may These tears won't wash you away Though I'm older I cry like a baby everyday
Then I come into the big line Let it all go out in the wee hours of the morn' I'm coming back I'll chase time And the fool will leap to bed
Cry as I may These tears won't wash you away
Then I'm going in the cold door And I'm all facing an empty room again No one's coming to the bold line I feel the river waters rising Oh, I've been bold
