Denison Witmer - Hold On lyrics

Of all the weather here I like rain the most Of all the drives I've had The Oregon coast Of all the poetry The Nights of Li-Young Lee Of all the songs we sing The songs of love And I know how you've been worried sick for me And I know how you've been taking after me Oh when you're not here The less it seems to me Hold on to you Hold on to me When you closed your eyes You slowly turned to light I slept through each day I stared all night To our history The rings of family trees I backed myself into The in-between How a father always starts out as a son How sometimes you're both Sometimes you're only one How we manifest things far beyond our means I do this for you I did that for me And I know how you've been worried sick for me And I know how you've been taking after me Oh when you're not here The less it seems to me Hold on to you Hold on to me
