Jimmy Nail - Can't Hold On Lyrics

There's a kind of town, edge of the universe
Nothing happened there, ever made the news
Lived a little boy, and girl next do, had opinions independent views
They dreamed of nights, and big city, helped to kill each dreary day
And all the things that getting out would bring
If only they, could get way, he says

I can't hold on, but i'm feeling strong
There are so many things, I'm not knowing

But the city light, did dent burn so bright
And the lighter day, was never warm
And the little boy got into 1 more fight, and the girl next door, said I miss my home
But he said, 'believe in me'
She said I don't know
He said cant you see

I can't hold on, cuz I'm feeling strong
Theirs so many things, I'm not knowing
And I can't hang around, in the 1 horse town
When my souls tied down, I'm forgoing

So the little boy, became a broken man
With a broken face and broken dreams
And the girl next door, she disappeared one day
And in her place, was a woman child

I can't hold on, I'm not feeling strong,
Theirs so many things that hurt me now
And I can't step down, from this big cold town
When my souls tied down, when my souls tied down
There's so many things, I'm not knowing
When my souls tied down, I'm forgoing
I can't hold on
Cuz I'm feeling strong
But there are so many things I'm not knowing, I'm not knowing
