Darlin' Hold On

You were born on your feet
With the stem of a rose between your teeth
From a cloud of golden air
Where the sky meets the city streets
You were already wise
To a world that’s bitter as it’s sweet
With both kinds of magic
And God never gets his sleep
Darlin' hold on
I am far but I’m not gone
Hold on
I am always where you are
Hold on
I am far but I’m not gone
Hold on
Some stars they don’t shine as long as others
They just slide and slip away
Sun goes down and tomorrow
Doesn’t call their names
Light as a feather white as snow
Like lanterns off they go
As if whoever brought thm here
Has come to tak them home
