When I Have To Call — текст песни (New West)

Yes, it`s me
And I was thinking how it used to be
And I just had to hear your voice
Yes, I know
I`ve been drinking and I knew you`d know
But you see, I didn`t have a choice
CHORUS:
I hold on so long
I hold on but I`m not strong
I hold on till there`s nothing left
There`s nothing left at all
And that`s when I have to call
The kids and me
We`re getting by, but not so happily
Cos your leaving was such sudden news
Can`t you see
You weren`t supposed to leave this family
But I guess you didn`t get to choose
(CHORUS)
So here I am
Holding flowers in my trembling hands
And December chill in my bones
It`s so clear
You ain`t coming back, I understand
I can see it written there in stone
I`ll hold on so long
I`ll hold on but I`m not strong
I`ll hold on till there`s nothing left
There`s nothing left at all
And that`s when I`ll have to call
[Jeff Swaim; 1997 New West]
