Hold Me
Lyrics:
[English]
Hold me, don't hold me down
Carry me, but keep my feet on the ground
That storm is coming down hard
I'm your shelter every time it starts
But if you leave me, I'll be moving on
You'll have a hard time drying when the fire is gone
I'll hold you, I won't hold you down, yeah
I'll carry you, but keep your feet on the ground
You're the storm and I'm the Murray darlin'
You keep me going
Every time I'm dry
But if you leave me
I'll be moving on (I'll live on)
But have a hard time running
When the weather is gone
Hold me, don't hold me down
Carry me, but keep my feet on the ground, yeah
I'll hold you, I won't hold ya down
I'll carry you, but keep your feet on the ground
In so many ways
I just keep pulling
But you're pushing me away
Me away
Hold me, don't hold me down
Carry me, but keep my feet on the ground
I'll hold you, I won't hold ya down
Carry you, but keep your feet on the ground, yeah
Hold me, don't hold me down
Love me, but don't let me drown
...
