Hold it from Weightless by Dave Manington
Hold It
Hold it one more time, and tell me if you really wish to stay with it.
Hold the thought inside your head, and if it becomes strong enough, come out with it.
Say out loud what we must all sometimes be thinking. Not long to go now.
Till death do us part.
Must learn to come to terms with it, so we can then let go of it.
We matched our dreams, at least some of them. Attempted to leave traces for others to seek. Meaningless for some, but speaking everything to others.
Fading in black ink, here a word, a sentence you might find in cumbersome handwriting.
To fire ones imagination.
A form, a face, a life.
A little bit of me in you.

Lyrics
HOLD IT
Hold it one more time and tell me if you really wish to stay with it.
Hold the thought inside your head and if it becomes strong enough, Come out with it.
Say out loud, what we must all sometimes be thinking
‘Not long to go now till death do us part.’
Must learn to come to terms with it, so we can then let go of it.
We matched our dreams, or at least some of them, attempting to leave traces for others to seek. Meaningless for some, but speaking everything to others.
Fading in black ink here, a word, a sentence you might find in cumbersome handwriting, to help fire one’s imagination.
A form, a face, a life, a little bit of me in you.
