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 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 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 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 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 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
