From Here To Eternity - Big Country

How will I know if it’s not like the first time

How will I know if this is the one

I try and hold you not for the first time

You step away and the past goes on

If I hold out for you will you hold out for me

Hold out from here to eternity

If I wait for you will you come to me

I need you from here to eternity

Times I walk through empty and aimless

Dragging days like a worn out mule

A night so empty it can only be painless

Weak and weary as your favorite fool

If I hold out for you will you hold out for me

Hold out from here to eternity

If I wait for you will you come to me

I need you from here to eternity

I need you from here to eternity

I carry on

I must take comfort in the little you leave me

The ring you stole on the darkest night

The weight of souvenirs that lie to deceive me

The dust of journeys and the scent of life

If I hold out for you will you hold out for me

Hold out from here to eternity

If I wait for you will you come to me

I need you from here to eternity

I need you from here to eternity

I carry on
