Cant Hold On — текст песни (Jimmy Nail)

Words by jimmy nail

Music by jimmy nail/andy caine/danny schogger





It was a kind of town, edge of the universe

Nothin happened there to ever make the news

Lived a little boy and a girl next door

Had opinions and independent views

They dreamed of nights and big city lights

It helped to kill each dreary day

And all the things that gettin out would bring

If only they could get away

He say



I cant hold on cause Im feelin strong

But theres so many things Im not knowing



But the city light didnt burn so bright

And the light of day was never warm

And the little boy got into one more fight

And the girl next dorr said "i miss my home"

He said "believe in me"

She said "i dont know"

He said "cant you see? "



I cant hold on cause Im feelin strong

And theres so many things Im not knowing

And I cant hang round this one-horse town

When my souls tied down, Im for going



So the little boy became a broken man

With a broken face and broken dreams

And the girl next door disappeared one day

And in her place

Was a woman-child, with long red hair

And a price per hour, that she feels is fair



I cant hold on, Im not feeling strong

Theres so many things that hurt me now

And I cant step down from this big cold town

Where my souls tied down
