Hold On (CD Single)

KT Tunstall Hold On (CD Single) Lyrics
1.Hold On

Say you to me


You're a bird with an eye


for the enemy shining


Searching the land


for a hero of a man


You say I need


More than my fair share of attention


But I think you know


That just isn't so


Oh underneath


I felt the fire of a burning question


Tearing me apart,


Right from the very start.


And now I see,


That it dont take a trick


Of the light to excite me.


So Strong


So Long


You'll see


Hold on to what


you've been given lately.


Hold on to what


you know you've got.


Hold on to what you've


been given lately.


Hold on 'cause the world will


turn if you're ready or not.


Simplicity,


A heart of gold,


an old head and young shoulders


Quiet and lovely,


Becoming part of me.


And now I see


from a handful of names


and a thousand faces.


One light burning


Fiercely


I was tired of January


Tired of June


I felt a change coming


oh oh


I was tired of January


I was tired of June


I felt a change coming


oh oh


I felt a change coming,


sooon


Hold on to what you've


been given lately.


Hold on to what you


know you've got.


Hold on to what you've


been given lately.


Hold on 'cause the world will


turn if you're ready or not.


Hold on to what you've


been given lately.


Hold on to what you


know you've got.


Hold on to what you've


been given lately.


Hold on 'cause the world will turn


if you're ready or not.


Well the world will turn


if you're ready or not


Whoa-oh, Yes the world will turn


if you're ready or not.


2.Journey

Sometimes I just wanna keep walking
get me into the mountains.
I see everything's easy,
If I just keep walking.

And sometimes I don't wanna get,
sometimes I don't wanna get,
sometimes I don't wanna get old.

And sometimes the journey's the thing,
sometimes the journeys's the thing
And I don't wanna sing - I wanna walk.

And sometimes I lift my head to the sky,
so I can listen for signs.
And I've found it takes me out of this town.

And sometimes I don't wanna get,
Sometimes I don't wanna get,
Sometimes I don't wanna get old.

And sometimes the journey's the thing,
sometimes the journeys's the thing


3.Suddenly I See (Live)

Her face is a map of the world


Is a map of the world


You can see she's a beautiful girl


She's a beautiful girl


And everything around her


is a silver pool of light


The people who surround her


feel the benefit of it


It makes you calm


She holds you captivated in her palm


Suddenly I see


This is what I wanna be


Suddenly I see


Why the hell it means so much to me


I feel like walking the world


Like walking the world


You can hear she's a beautiful girl


She's a beautiful girl


She fills up every corner like


she's born in black and white


Makes you feel warmer


when you're trying to remember


What you heard


She likes to leave you


hanging on a wire


And she's taller than most


And she's looking at me


I can see her eyes looking


from a page in a magazine


Oh she makes me feel like


I could be a tower


A big strong tower


She got the power to be


The power to give


The power to see


Suddenly I see


Suddenly I see


4.Hopeless (Live acoustic)

Songwriters:Tunstall, Katie

Hopeless
Everybody says its just another decay
of the soul
But I know I'm hopeless,
thought about anything to take me away
from this hole in the ground
I found it's hopeless
clinging to a feeling
Like a fish on a line,
so blinded by the lately
Hopeless, no more saying
that there's no more time.

I've was trying far too hard
To be what I thought I should be
I was playing wild cards and
Seeing things that weren't in front of me
Like a little tiger,
played fighting,
Until I was hurting myself,
again and again

Because I'm hopeless.
Everybody says its just another decay
of the soul
But I know I'm hopeless,
thought about anything to take me away
from this hole in the ground
I found it's hopeless
clinging to a feeling
Like a fish on a line,
so blinded by the lately
Hopeless, no more saying
that there's no more time.

That there's no more time.

Well I'm just discovering
I'm living in a different body

Caught a little insight
into everything
thats happening to me
Like a little spider,
I'm climbing the insurmountable
But I'll never hold myself accountable, no.

'Cause I'm hopeless.
Everybody says I'm hopeless
But I got a bit of hopelessness

Oh and you can never bring me down
Even though I've got some silent ground
Oh because I love it so
And I think you should know

Because I'm hopeless.
Everybody says its just another decay
of the soul
But I know I'm hopeless,
thought about anything to take me away
from this hole in the ground
I found it's hopeless
clinging to a feeling
Like a fish on a line,
so blinded by the lately
Hopeless, hopeless, hopeless

No more saying that there's no more time.
