Terence Trent Darby - Holding On To You Lyrics

i left the east side for a west coast beauty a girl who burned my thoughts like kisses she was down by street decree she swore she´d pull my best years out of me fat painted lips on a life wire beaut a tangerine girl with tambourine eyes her face was my favorite magazine her body was my favorite book to read they say that all poets must have an unrequited love as all lovers must have thought provokating fears but holding on to you means letting go of pain means letting go of tears means letting go of rain means letting go of what´s not real holding on to you i left the rough side for a seaside baby a chamomile smile that pouts on cue for every moment i breath her sigh her bosom contains my sweet alibi in an emotional mist she breathes in fog and braethes it out as garden flowers why me of all the tough talking boys ? i guess she heard my heartbeat through the noise they say that all poets must have an unrequited love as all lovers must have thought provokating fears but holding on to you means letting go of pain means letting go of tears means letting go of rain holding on to you means letting sorrows heal means letting go of what´s not real holding on to you they say that all poets must have an unrequited love as all lovers must have thought provokating fears but holding on to you means letting sorrows heal means letting go of what´s not real holding on to you i left the east side for a west coast beauty a girl who burned my thoughts like kisses she was down by street decree she swore she´d pull my best years out of me fat wet lips on a sea salt canvas goodbye picasso hello dolly/dali the soil is fertile where her footsteps trod they say that all poets must have an unrequited love as all lovers must have thought provokating fears but holding on to you means letting go of pain means letting go of tears means letting go of rain holding on to you means letting sorrows heal it means letting go Terence Trent Darby Lyrics Holding On To You Lyrics
