Man Holding On (To a woman letting go) lyrics

Two young lovers with their bodies on fire Aching to swim that river of desire Leaving innocence there on the bank by their clothes A man holdin' on to a woman letting go There's a man with a bottle on the other side of town Swimming with a memory that he can't drown Lord it ain't sunk in that she ain't coming home A man holdin' on to a woman letting go Chorus: His heart is telling him to hang on for dear life Cause deep down he knows She's letting go for good this time There's a daddy walking his daughter down the aisle Fighting back tears and forcing a smile Oh for twenty-two years he's watched her grow A man holdin' on to a woman letting go In the Hillvalley home there's a feable old man And he's holding on to a fragile old hand And the angels are coming to carry her home Now he's a man holdin' on to a woman letting go Chorus Two young lovers with their bodies on fire Aching to swim that river of desire Leaving innocence there on the bank by their clothes A man holdin' on to a woman letting go Oh a man holdin' on to a woman A woman letting go
