Holding On to Nothing Lyrics by David Crosby

Croz

2014

[Verse 1]
After holding on to nothing for quite awhile
I glanced to see what waited there
A shadow leaning easy by a window
A scent of something recent in the air
[Verse 2]
Nothing runs faster than time at night
But time slows down every day
All of those hours with nothing to do
Holding nothing again today
[Chorus]
And sunny days can fool you
They can look wet with rain
And even words from a friend can bring back
The pain
[Verse 3]
Memories come back on their own
And birds fly south in the sky
Pictures are drawn, pencil sketches at dawn
Wishes that I too could fly
[Trumpet Solo]
[Chorus]
And sunny days can fool you
They can look wet with rain
Even words from a friend can bring back
The pain
[Verse 4]
All the pictures I see are smiling at me
But today I'm somebody new
Not really knowing, just coming and going
A stranger just passing through
