Denison WitmerAbout
As most of the album was written in the wake of his father’s death, this song reflects on his father’s concern for him and how he is making sense of his absence. The album is bookended by Hold On and Those Who Wait who both explore common themes of loss and bereavement with the final track coming to...
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
