How will I know if it's not like the first time
How will I know if this is the one
I try and hold you not for the first time
You step away and the past goes on
If I hold out for you will you hold out for me
Hold out from here to eternity
If I wait for you will you come to me
I need you from here to eternity
Times I walk through empty and aimless
Dragging days like a worn out mule
A night so empty it can only be painless
Weak and weary as your favorite fool
If I hold out for you will you hold out for me
Hold out from here to eternity
If I wait for you will you come to me
I need you from here to eternity
I need you from here to eternity
I carry on
I must take comfort in the little you leave me
The ring you stole on the darkest night
The weight of souvenirs that lie to deceive me
The dust of journeys and the scent of life
If I hold out for you will you hold out for me
Hold out from here to eternity
If I wait for you will you come to me
I need you from here to eternity
I need you from here to eternity
I carry on
