Holding Back the Years

Holding Back The Years - The Comptones

Holding back the years

Thinking of the fear I've had for so long

When somebody hears

Listen to the fear that's gone

Strangled by the wishes of pater

Hoping for the arm of mater

Get to me sooner or later

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

Holding back the years

Chance for me to escape from all I know

Holding back the tears

Cause nothing here has grown

I've wasted all my tears

I've wasted all those years

Nothing had the chance to be good

Nothing ever could yeah

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on so tight

Well I've wasted all my tears

Wasted all those years

And nothing had the chance to be good

Nothing ever could

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

Holding holding holding la

I say oh

It's all I have to say

It's all I have to say
