Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I woke up mud on my boots

Cold stone under my feet

Your name still in my mouth

Like whiskey in the heat

The blackbird cut the dawn

Over heather, over rain

I kept your coat by the door

But you never came again

[Pre-Chorus]

Now the road goes on

Past the wool and flame

I hear it in the wind

And I call your name

[Chorus]

Hold on, hold on

Come back to the hill

Hold on, hold on

I’m standing still

Hold on, hold on

Hear the whole town sing

Hold on, hold on

We were born for this thing

[Verse 2]

I crossed the market square

Past the stalls and rusted signs

Old hands in the doorway

With their stories and their dimes

The river bit the bank

And the gulls circled low

Every mile I took

Pulled me closer to you, I know

[Pre-Chorus]

Now the road goes on

Past the wool and flame

I hear it in the wind

And I call your name

[Chorus]

Hold on, hold on

Come back to the hill

Hold on, hold on

I’m standing still

Hold on, hold on

Hear the whole town sing

Hold on, hold on

We were born for this thing

[Bridge]

When the winter breaks

And the braziers glow

I’ll be at the gate

Where the wild reeds grow

If you lost your way

Let the lantern burn

I kept one last light

For the day you return

[Final Chorus]

Hold on, hold on

Come back to the hill

Hold on, hold on

I’m standing still

Hold on, hold on

Hear the whole town sing

Hold on, hold on

We were born for this thing

Hold on, hold on

Till the morning breaks

Hold on, hold on

Till the whole world shakes
