Lyrics

Holding On Too Tightly
By Ted Horrell

When I was young, I hoped to make an imprint
A lasting scar for all the world to see
The glowing iron so hot that it was frightening
I was burning up so brightly with belief

As I grew up, I longed to be a wise man
Went round the earth for what it could show me
But Greenich Mean’s not as important as the meantime
My eyes were opened up too widely to see

Now the me is we and the we has been expanded
And we’re so many things we thought we’d never be
And all we’ve touched has touched us in the best ways
As we’re strolling through this life so happily

I’m older now, much older than I once was
But not as old as the man I hope to be
What will I think of all the things I think now?
When I’m slowing down and finally released
My thoughts flowing to the mighty, mighty sea
As I’m extolling the beauty of our journey through this dream so lovingly
You and me
