Skyway Man - The Holding On

How far did you stumble leaning on a ghost?
Now your eyes fix on the ceiling
Here comes a long lost feeling

Did drifting on turn from courage
To a wilder form of pleading?
Does the holding on keep you from healing?

Don't ask why the time goes still
Don't try to close the void wide open, child
I know you probably will
Make it last until

The old moonlight strikes your counter
Slides down your window sill
Grabs hold of the lines on your hand uncurled
With light from the craters of a different world

Where husks of days wasted
Lay where the tide receded
When holding on kept you from healing

I'm trying hard, my friend
You know I don't like feeling this for you
Burn off your selfish ends
Take off that shell inside your shell
And start receiving
You are now grieving
You're the sound of one heart beating
