Lyrics

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

The moon came up over the harbor wall

I heard a woman singing soft and low

Her voice was warm as summer rain

And every note it found me

I never asked her name that night

I only knew I'd follow where it goes

Pre-Chorus

Love is a stranger at the door

Love is a stranger at the door

You open up you don't know why

Chorus

And I keep holding on

I keep holding on

To something I can't name

Something I can't hold

I keep holding on

I keep holding on

Post-Chorus

La la la la

La la la la

Verse 2

My father loved my mother forty years

He never said the words out loud

He just fixed the roof and poured the wine

And held her hand when storms came round

That's a kind of poem too

The quiet kind that lasts

Pre-Chorus

Love is a harbor in the rain

Love is a harbor in the rain

You drop your anchor and you stay

Chorus

And I keep holding on

I keep holding on

To something I can't name

Something I can't hold

I keep holding on

I keep holding on

Post-Chorus

La la la la

La la la la

Instrumental Break

Bridge

Some love burns and some love waits

Some love leaves and some love stays

Some love never says a word

Some love sings until it's heard

Guitar Solo

Chorus

And I keep holding on

I keep holding on

To something I can't name

Something I can't hold

I keep holding on

I keep holding on

Post-Chorus

La la la la

La la la la

La la la la

La la la la

Outro

I keep holding on
