Holding Back

It's in the darkness of believing It's in the shadows where we have to stand Beside the loving and the grieving O I'll never understand It's in the way it has to reach us It's in the restless of the shifting sand And all the truth it has to teach us O I'll never understand Holding back to listen to the ocean Holding back to dance inside the storm I may be foolish but I don't care As long as you are there From edge to edge we take our pleasure We follow blindly each insane command Judged by some eternal measure O I'll never understand O and peace is child to no-one We're held together by an endless strand First to be woven then to be undone O I'll never understand Holding back to listen to the ocean Holding back to dance inside the storm I may be foolish but I don't care As long as you are there Soon all the promises are broken And expectation passes underhand And not a gentle word is spoken O I'll never understand It's in the darkness of believing It's in the shadows where we have to stand Beside the loving and the grieving O I'll never understand Holding back to listen to the ocean Holding back to dance inside the storm I may be foolish but I don't care As long as you are there
