Holding On
© Nat Colten

Brother you’ve been gone too long.
I’ve seen it in your face of late.
I know it by your tone, you think you’re walking it alone.
Let me tell you, you’ve been wrong.

I’ve been holding on to my hunger
as long as I can breathe.
Now my brother comes this way home
and my darlin’ for to see.

I can feel it in my soul.
Shakey hands.
Shakey bones.
I have wallowed in my woes.
Nurtured trouble.
Died to know.
But now that I’m alive
I know that I can be a better man.

Sister you’ve been gone too long.
I’ve seen it in your face of late.
I know it by your tone, you think you’re walking it alone.
Let me tell you, you’ve been wrong.

I’ve been holding on to my hunger
as long as I can breathe.
Now my sister comes this way home
and my darlin’ for to see.

It’s the balance that we wander night and day
It’s the fever of this love that makes us stay
It’s the balance that we wander night and day
It’s the fever of this love that makes us stay

I can feel it in my soul.
Shakey hands.
Shakey bones.
I have wallowed in my woes.
Nurtured trouble.
Died to know.
But now that I’m alive
I know that I can be a better man.
