Anthony Stewart Head - Standing lyrics

You're not ready for the world outside You keep pretending, but you just can't hide I know I said that I'd be standing by your side But I... Your path's unbeaten and it's all uphill And you can meet it, but you never will And I'm the reason that you're standing still But I... I wish I could say the right words to lead you through this land Wish I could play the father and take you by the hand Wish I could stay But now I understand I'm standing in the way The cries around you, you don't hear at all Because you know I'm here to take that call So you just lie there when you should be standing tall But I... I wish I could lay your arms down And let you rest at last Wish I could slay your demons But now that time has pa**ed Wish I could stay your stalwart, standing fast But I'm standing in the way I'm just standing in the way
