0:00Holding On To You - Terence Trent D'Arby
0:16I left the east side for a west coast beauty
0:19A girl who burned my thoughts like kisses
0:23She was down by street decree
0:26She swore she'd pull my best years out of me
0:30Fat painted lips on a live wire beauty
0:34A tangerine girl with tambourine eyes
0:38Her face was my favourite magazine
0:41Her body was my favourite book to read
0:44They say that all poets must have and unrequited love
0:52As all lovers must have thought provoking fears
0:58But holding on to you means letting go on pain
1:05Means letting go of tears
1:09Means letting go of rain
1:12Means letting go of what's not real
1:20Holding on to you
1:25I left the rough side for a seaside baby
1:29A chamomile smile that pouts on cue
1:33For every moment I breathe her sigh
1:36Her bosom contains my sweet alibi
1:40In an emotional mist she breathes in fog
1:44And breathes it out as garden flowers
1:48Why me of all the tough talking boys
1:51I guess she heard my heartbeat through the noise
1:54They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
2:02As all lovers must have thought provoking fears
2:08But holding on to you means letting go of pain
2:16Means letting go of tears
2:19Means letting go of the rain
2:23Holding on to you
2:27Means letting sorrows heal
2:30Means letting go of what's not real
2:38Holding on to you
2:56They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
3:06As all lovers I'm sure must have thought provoking fears
3:11But holding on to you means letting sorrows heal
3:18Means letting go of what's not real
3:26Holding on to you
3:28I left the east coast for a west coast beauty
3:31A woman who burned my thoughts like kisses
3:36She was down by street decree
3:39She swore she'd pull my best years out of me
3:43Fat wet lips on a sea salt canvas
3:46Goodbye Picasso hello Dolly/Dali
3:50The soil is fertile where her footsteps trod
3:54She's my new religion she's all I got
3:56They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
4:04As all lovers I'm sure must have thought provoking fears
4:10But holding on to you means letting go of pain
4:18Means letting go of tears
4:21Means letting go of rain
4:25Holding on to you
4:28Means letting sorrows heal
4:32It means letting go
4:34It means letting go of pain
4:36It means letting go of pain
4:47It means letting go of tears
4:49It means letting go of rain
