New West When I Have To Call
Yes, it's me And I was thinking how it used to be And I just had to hear your voice Yes, I know I've been drinking and I knew you'd know But you see, I didn't have a choice CHORUS: I hold on so long I hold on but I'm not strong I hold on till there's nothing left There's nothing left at all And that's when I have to call The kids and me We're getting by, but not so happily Cos your leaving was such sudden news Can't you see You weren't supposed to leave this family But I guess you didn't get to choose (CHORUS) So here I am Holding flowers in my trembling hands And December chill in my bones It's so clear You ain't coming back, I understand I can see it written there in stone I'll hold on so long I'll hold on but I'm not strong I'll hold on till there's nothing left There's nothing left at all And that's when I'll have to call [Jeff Swaim; ©1997 New West]
