Lyrics
Holding off
copyright Richard Rummery 2004
She spoke, words from a place that stood for something,
out of the signs in play, out of desperation
I looked and I can see her face was cracking
that's all I want (that's what I want) to share
CH:
to share, I wanna share, share, share
you know there's always a time to believe
always a time to believe
A time to learn, a time to laugh, a time to kill
so just don't be holding off
(don't keep me holding off)
vii)
I woke, and I could see that she'sd beem crying
and so I moved to share, all my emotions
and one day we will go riding through your valley
That's all I want (that's what I want) to share
CH:
to share, I wanna share, share, share
you know there's always a time to believe
always a time to believe
A time to learn, a time to laugh, a time to kill
so just don't be holding off
(don't keep me holding off)
