HOLDING ON 1214121 - I PLAY C

James Michael Taylor

This song is akin to REMEMBERING BABE. Another night to Keren’s. Almost got caught by the cops. Saw ’em coming so Babe and I hid in the olive orchard until they turned off the spot light and left. THEN, I did what came to be called my Night Ride thru Woodlake. Dad suspected it was me. Galloping down one street off Main at 3 AM got the attention of a few.

HOOLDING ON

Holding on, holding on, I’m holding on to you (2)
Memories slip and slide away. Never to return
Memories run and hide away. Will we ever learn?
Feel the memories burn!
Burning like lave flowing from my eyes
Salt water showers
Burning like tomorrow falling from the skies
Rent it by the hour

Lights go down and the dreams rise up in the hearts of restless children
A window is a door when the parents snore And the sky is their pavillion
Reach across the water. Touch the finger. Hold the body.
Close the window . Open up the passion. Throw away the caution.

Holding on, holding on, I’m holding on to you (2)
Memories slip and slide away. Never to return
Memories run and hide away. Will we ever learn?
Feel the memories burn!
Burning like lave flowing from my eyes
Salt water showers
Burning like tomorrow falling from the skies
Rent it by the hour

The sun goes down and the dreams rise up in the dreams of endless children
The horse stands still by the power of the will of the innocent civilian
Chase the horseman. Turn the corner. Lock the window
Notify the sheriff. Fold the blanket. Search the orchard

Holding on, holding on, I’m holding on to you…….
