Tall Heights – Holding On, Holding Out lyrics
[Verse 1]
You were written as holograph in type in the setting of the sun
I heard it coming in the waning of the light
That my time was nearly come
So I and your mother
We set about to write in the language of our love
How you were born high above the tree line
Beating heart was like a drum
[Chorus]
Oh, holding on and holding out
For a muddy pool in the summer drought
Oh, holding honor, hold your doubt
'Cause I don't believe it's too late to save us now
So, honey, here's to holding out
[Verse 2]
Holding out for sunrise in the valley of my mind darkening my eyes
I'm not creeping up on death
I'm transferring the light, transferring the life
Well I was building up a fortress
To protect you all you life so that you would never want
But I can't build them like they used to
That I realized that fear will come to haunt
[Chorus]
Oh, holding on and holding out
For a muddy pool in the summer drought
Oh, holding honor, hold your doubt
'Cause I don't believe it's too late to save us now
So, honey, here's to holding out
[Bridge]
The rains never came
Seems like we all got that same far-off dusty stare
The rains never came
Ain't it funny just thinking that somewhere out there
It's probably pouring on somebody's teatime affair
[Chorus]
Oh, holding on and holding out
For a muddy pool in the summer drought
Oh, holding honor, hold your doubt
'Cause I don't believe it's too late to save us now
Oh, holding on and holding out
Oh, holding on and holding out
Oh, holding on and holding out
'Cause I don't believe it's too late to save us now
'Cause I don't believe it's too late to save us now
You were written as holograph in type in the setting of the sun
I heard it coming in the waning of the light
That my time was nearly come
So I and your mother
We set about to write in the language of our love
How you were born high above the tree line
Beating heart was like a drum
[Chorus]
Oh, holding on and holding out
For a muddy pool in the summer drought
Oh, holding honor, hold your doubt
'Cause I don't believe it's too late to save us now
So, honey, here's to holding out
[Verse 2]
Holding out for sunrise in the valley of my mind darkening my eyes
I'm not creeping up on death
I'm transferring the light, transferring the life
Well I was building up a fortress
To protect you all you life so that you would never want
But I can't build them like they used to
That I realized that fear will come to haunt
[Chorus]
Oh, holding on and holding out
For a muddy pool in the summer drought
Oh, holding honor, hold your doubt
'Cause I don't believe it's too late to save us now
So, honey, here's to holding out
[Bridge]
The rains never came
Seems like we all got that same far-off dusty stare
The rains never came
Ain't it funny just thinking that somewhere out there
It's probably pouring on somebody's teatime affair
[Chorus]
Oh, holding on and holding out
For a muddy pool in the summer drought
Oh, holding honor, hold your doubt
'Cause I don't believe it's too late to save us now
Oh, holding on and holding out
Oh, holding on and holding out
Oh, holding on and holding out
'Cause I don't believe it's too late to save us now
'Cause I don't believe it's too late to save us now
