Hold Your Head Up High - Darlingside

How it rambles 'round the moon

A let-go-of balloon

Nothing is forever, everything is soon

And my father as he stands

A perfect cartoon man

Heavy-sighed and open-eyed, I heard him speak

Hold your head up high

Hold your head up high

Rise it up, it’s fine terrain

The time will come again

And misery’s no rest for weary gentlemen

See that humankind is you

Like all the rest, down to

The scratches on the album that you’re singing to

Hold your head up high

Hold your head up high

Through the light and through the shadow

I won’t wait it out, wait it out

Hold your head up high

Hold your head up high

Hold your head up high

Biting clovers in the lawn

A solitary fawn

Underground, the new life thunders up and on
