Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold me
And never let me go please
You said that I need this
But I don't know
Where are you
I can tell by the??
You're moving me around you
You said I know
You tell me to go
And hold me
You never let me go please
You say that you need
Then tell me you don't
And all I need you
And I'm afraid that if I leave you
It's the last I'll ever see of you
And I'll be alone
I'll be alone
I said hold me
And never let me go please
You say you'll never me
You say that are
And oh I wanna hold you
I wanna love you like we all do
And I just wanna show you
That I never go
You know I'd never go
Yeah hold me
And never let me go please
And tell me that you need me
Tell me you know
You know how you told me
How we'd be growing old
Be all that there is
We made long ago
We made long ago
And I said darling hold me
ANd never let me go please
You said that I need this
But I'd never go
You know?? you
And I can tell by the way you
How you're moving me about you
You tell me you don't
You tell me you oh Lord no no no no
Oh Lord no no no no no
Oh Lord no no no no no




Oh Lord no no no no no
Oh Lord no no no no no

Daniel - your voice and overall sound is amazing. I first heard you on the Royal mile singing holy fire a few years ago. I bought your ep that night and have followed you ever since. This is powerful.

Wow, our company was so impressed by your performance and your guitar style. Got yourself a couple of new fans here. So glad to find these wonderful videos and beautiful songs.
