Darlin' Hold On - The Wallflowers

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

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

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 thm here

Has come to tak them home
