Holding Back |
| It’s in the darkness of believing |
| It’s in the shadows where we have to stand |
| Beside the loving and the grieving |
| O I’ll never understand |
| It’s in the way it has to reach us |
| It’s in the restless of the shifting sand |
| And all the truth it has to teach us |
| O I’ll never understand |
| Holding back to listen to the ocean |
| Holding back to dance inside the storm |
| I may be foolish but I don’t care |
| As long as you are there |
| From edge to edge we take our pleasure |
| We follow blindly each insane command |
| Judged by some eternal measure |
| O I’ll never understand |
| O and peace is child to no-one |
| We’re held together by an endless strand |
| First to be woven then to be undone |
| O I’ll never understand |
| Holding back to listen to the ocean |
| Holding back to dance inside the storm |
| I may be foolish but I don’t care |
| As long as you are there |
| Soon all the promises are broken |
| And expectation passes underhand |
| And not a gentle word is spoken |
| O I’ll never understand |
| It’s in the darkness of believing |
| It’s in the shadows where we have to stand |
| Beside the loving and the grieving |
| O I’ll never understand |
| Holding back to listen to the ocean |
| Holding back to dance inside the storm |
| I may be foolish but I don’t care |
| As long as you are there |
