To hold on like day old beer
To hold on for your return
May I yearn and burn?
I sit in my rocking chair
And swing like a doctrinaire
On things that won't be so
Up and down
Day by day, all night long,
All the years you have been gone
I hold on here
Till the cows come home
The bitterness inside me
Embraces me totally
And opens me finally
I have been alone
I hold on a rocking chair again
And swing like a doctrinaire again
On things that won't be so
Up and down
Day by day, all night long,
All the years you have been gone
I hold on here
Till the cows come home
Oh god I'm yearning,
I'm always burning
For things that are gone
But now I'm learning
To stop turning around, to hold on
That's not a song about you,
Not about me, not about anyone
Maybe an outstanding account to be paid
For all the days, all night long, all the years
I hold on till the cows come home
You told me to hold on here To hold on like day old beer To hold on for your return May I yearn and burn? I sit in my rocking chair And swing like a doctrinaire On things that won't be so Up and down Day by day, all night long, All the years you have been gone I hold on here Till the cows come home The bitterness inside me Embraces me totally And opens me finally I have been alone I hold on a rocking chair again And swing like a doctrinaire again On things that won't be so Up and down Day by day, all night long, All the years you have been gone I hold on here Till the cows come home Oh god I'm yearning, I'm always burning For things that are gone But now I'm learning To stop turning around, to hold on That's not a song about you, Not about me, not about anyone Maybe an outstanding account to be paid For all the days, all night long, all the years I hold on till the cows come home Explain Request ×
