Holly Throsby - Some Days Are Long lyrics

All these times behind us they go on by so fast We like this fine old house around us Look at how it lasts, just like us it lasts So I hold on to you 'cause I get so frightened that I just can't get things right And you slowly slip your hand from mine 'cause you're forcing me to try Some days are long They make the nights seem ages away And I work so I'll be strong Not to hold you down but to let you go From time to time those letters arrive and I say 'go if you want to go' And the phone might ring for me late at night and you say 'He can call if he wants to call; it's ok to call who you want to call' I don't want to weigh you down baby I don't want us sinking like stones I don't want to be kicking myself when you're gone Some days are long And old age is ages away So I'll work while I'm still young Not to hold you down but to let you go
