Darlin’ Hold On

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Now darlin' 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

[Verse 2]
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 thеm here
Has come to takе 'em home

[Chorus]
Now darlin' 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

[Bridge]
Abandoned and locked out and pressed to the fire
Been tricked into thinking you're the one that's on trial
A-backed into a corner, you've been hung up to dry
If you're there (If you're there), so am I (Oh-oh)

[Chorus]
Darlin' hold on
I am far but I'm not gone
Hold on
I am always where you are

[Post-Chorus]
There in the whistle of a passing train
On down whichever road you take
There in the water staring back
When you kneel down and see your face

[Chorus]
Now darlin' 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
