Holding On
Kino Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waking up when we learn to give
And the words can fall, yeah, they fall,
Always bring them down
Always down, always bring them down

Good advice was no sacrifice
So you hold yourself 'til you feel,
Always try to feel
Always feel, always feel, always you will feel

But you keep on holding
Yes you keep on holding on
Yes you keep on holding on
Holding on, yeah, to love

Once again you will live again
And the words will fall and they fall
Always till you feel,
Always feel, always till you feel, yeah

So I keep you holding on
I keep you holding on
Keep you holding on
Holding on to love





(chorus repeat)

Sont un molt bon conjunt aquests de Kino.   Crec que no ès una composició teva, no ?.  Esclàr, donç em baixaré música d'aquest conjunt musical.   Et recomano el conjunt : Beirut... sobre tot la peça : In the mausoleum of beirut,  en trovaràs moltes més de bones, cantades amb anglès i barreija - des de música oriental.  Merci i cüidat molt.
