Hold On (so Goodbye To All Of That) Lyrics

Crippled Black Phoenix Hold On (so Goodbye To All Of That)

I see the dark lands
Unfold before me
The rain is thickening down

I see the city aflame with lights
Though all streets are beset with shadow

I see a man
With a curtain in his eyes
A stone upon his heart
He is lost in the past

And I see a woman
She is alive
(But as usual with these things)
She fears for the future of her child

And I hear the freight trains rolling
On through the night
With their endless cargoes
For our endless desires

And I smash the cup
I turn the dial
On the long-wave radio
The music plays out
Some old-fashioned song
Some old-fashioned song, of love

So goodbye to all of that
Goodbye my love, to all of that
