Holding Back the Tears

Holding back the tears Seeing the storm gathering in my lonely sky I wait until the cloud clears Finding you in the rainbow, I try But the departing shower Melts you in the twilight hour The rains of my eyes devour. Holding back the fears Tears may wash away my dream I’ve made of you for years Want to see in moonbeam gleam I’ve saved all my tears Shoved back all my fears My dream faded away with the rainbow You won’t arc my sky again, I know, yeah. I’ll hold on I’ll hold on I’ll hold on I’ll hold on, to me. All these years I’ve saved my tears Shoved back all those fears But my dream faded away with the rainbow ‘cause you won’t arc my sky, I know. Its time Your molten memory Flows out of me And you set me free. May 23, 2019 Inspired by : Holding Back The Years - Simply Red
