Words Mick Hucknall

Music Mick Hucknall & Neil Moss

Holding back the years

Thinking of the fear I've had so long

When somebody hears

Listen to the fear that's gone

Strangled by the wishes of pater

Hoping for the arms of mater

Get to me the sooner or later

[01:04.16]

Holding back the years

Chance for me to escape from all I've known

Holding back the tears

Cause nothing here has grown

I've wasted all my tears

Wasted all those years

And nothing had the chance to be good

Nothing ever could yeah

I'll keep holding on

So tight

I've wasted all my tears

Wasted all of those years

And nothing had the chance to be good

Cause nothing ever could oh yeah

I'll keep holding on

Holding, holding, holding

[03:48.04]That's all I have today

[03:52.45]It's all I have to say
