The Wallflowers - Darlin’ Hold On lyrics

[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
