Holding Back the Tears

Holding back the tears 
Seeing the storm gathering in my lonely sky
I wait until the cloud clears
Finding you in the rainbow, I try
But the departing shower
Melts you in the twilight hour
The rains of my eyes devour.

Holding back the fears
Tears may wash away my dream
I’ve made of you for years
Want to see in moonbeam gleam
I’ve saved all my tears
Shoved back all my fears
My dream faded away with the rainbow
You won’t arc my sky again, I know, yeah.

I’ll hold on
I’ll hold on
I’ll hold on
I’ll hold on, to me.

All these years I’ve saved my tears
Shoved back all those fears
But my dream faded away with the rainbow
‘cause you won’t arc my sky, I know.

Its time
Your molten memory
Flows out of me
And you set me free.
