lyrics

You'll find a note saying there's food on the table
I might be sleeping or watching tv
And I know you'll write me as soon as you're able
I'll be here holding it down

The ships and the planes bring the brand new arrivals
But a thousand of them can't replace one of you
Coming to practice their skills of survival
I know they're just passing through

You always used to say
If we ever left this place
The wind would blow these little streets away

Waiting for postcards from friends who have travelled
Into the future, or is it the past?
I'll keep the world from becoming unraveled
Until you come back around
I'll be here holding it down
