Terence Trent D'Arby - Holding on to You (HD) - Lyrics on-screen

I left the east side for a west coast beauty
A girl who burned my thoughts like kisses
She was down by street decree
She swore she'd pull my best years out of me
Fat painted lips on a live wire beauty
A tangerine girl with tambourine eyes
Her face was my favourite magazine
Her body was my favourite book to read
They say that all poets must have and unrequited love
As all lovers must have thought provoking fears
But holding on to you means letting go on pain
Means letting go of tears
Means letting go of rain
Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you
I left the rough side for a seaside baby
A chamomile smile that pouts on cue
For every moment I breathe her sigh
Her bosom contains my sweet alibi
In an emotional mist she breathes in fog
And breathes it out as garden flowers
Why me of all the tough talking boys?
I guess she heard my heartbeat through the noise
They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
As all lovers must have thought provoking fears
But holding on to you means letting go of pain
Means letting go of tears
Means letting go of the rain
Holding on to you
Means letting sorrows heal
Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you
They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
As all lovers I'm sure must have thought provoking fears
But holding on to you means letting sorrows heal
Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you
I left the east coast for a west coast beauty
A woman who burned my thoughts like kisses
She was down by street decree
She swore she'd pull my best years out of me
Fat wet lips on a sea salt canvas
Goodbye Picasso hello Dali
The soil is fertile where her footsteps trod
She's my new religion she's all I got
They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
As all lovers I'm sure must have thought provoking fears
But holding on to you means letting go of pain
Means letting go of tears
Means letting go of rain
Means letting sorrows heal
It means letting go

Not only is his voice fantastic but the lyrics are so profound. An under celebrated artist

I heard this for the first time in '95 or '96.
A sultry, humid summer evening.
It had rained but not cooled down.
I went into my almost empty local pub
and was nearly blown away by his voice.
I left the east side for a west coast beauty
A girl who burned my thoughts like kisses
Wow! What a force, what a fire...

I joined your party time in the 90's, as we were young guys in our twenties, and we loved your rythm but almost now, 30 years later, "beeing older", I understand, that you are much more than a fantastic voice with great rythm...moreover you are a poet and this song is the proof of that...
Thanks terence for great moments you spend me in life

tombahr
