Hold On Lyrics

Of all the weather here
I like rain the most
Of all the drives I've had
The Oregon coast
Of all the poetry
The Nights of Li-Young Lee
Of all the songs we sing
The songs of love
And I know how you've been worried sick for me
And I know how you've been taking after me
Oh when you're not here
The less it seems to me
Hold on to you
Hold on to me
When you closed your eyes
You slowly turned to light
I slept through each day
I stared all night
To our history
The rings of family trees
I backed myself into
The in-between
How a father always starts out as a son
How sometimes you're both
Sometimes you're only one
How we manifest things far beyond our means
I do this for you
I did that for me
And I know how you've been worried sick for me
And I know how you've been taking after me
Oh when you're not here
The less it seems to me
Hold on to you
Hold on to me
