Lyrics The Screaming Jets – Holding On

I’ll be holding on for time
Yeah, I’ll be holding on for time
I wouldn’t deceive you or tell you a lie
I’ll be holding on this time

Why can’t I see for sight?
And do you always have to be right
There’s no recovery because you’re the cure
And know one answers your door

Well it’s just so for you to ignore
We’ve all made mistakes that we’re sorry for
I hope you realise that I’ll make no compromise

I’ll be holding on for time
Till that time begins to slide
I once had you, you could have been mine
And I’ll be holding on this time

Well it’s just so easy for you to ignore
Everybody makes mistakes that they’re sorry for
And I hope you realise that I’ll make no compromise for you

Do you here my words to ignore me?
Look into my eyes to scorn me?
Do I have to get down on my knees?
To break down

So I’ll be holding on for time
Only you can read my mind
I once held you close, you could have been mine
But I’ll be holding on
Yes, I’ll be holding on this time

Well, it’s just so easy to try and ignore
You’ve made mistakes yourself
You were never sorry for
