Hold On (Goodbye To All of That)

I see the dark lands Unfold before me The rain is thickening down I see the city aflame with lights Though all the streets Are beset with shadow I see a man With a curtain in his eyes A stone upon his heart He is lost in the past And I see a woman She is alive (But as usual with these things) She fears for the future of her child And I hear the freight trains rolling On through the night With their endless cargoes For our endless desires And I smash the cup I turn the dial On the long-wave radio The music plays out Some old fashioned song, Some old fashioned song, of love... So goodbye, to all of that, Good bye my love, To all of that...
