What Holds The World Together Lyrics - American Music Club

The wind pulls me around 

And everything it touches turns weak 

An antique or an eyelash stuck in your cheek 

The paper thin skin of a crowd chasing you 

Down a lost and dead-end trail 

With a guilt no alibi can curtail 

The world is held together by the wind 

That blows through Gena Rowland's hair 

Land ahoy I fill my weak lungs with this joy 

Dizzy on the deck hopin' that I'd last until we land 

With an envelope burning a hole in my hand 

Bearing the names of the winners who walked away 

From the games that the slaves love to play 

To replace the air and the sea, leaving you no way to fly to me 

The world is held together by the wind 

That blows through Gena Rowland's hair 

Through the window, the warm summer air does a two-step 

I wish I could think of some way I could keep it 

And clear away the mission street in my head 

That keeps this watery weariness in our bed and 

Sets up more windmills that all waste my time missing 

When it should just be your lips that I'm kissing 

Don't tell me that you don't wanna hear 

The clock ticking on the shelf by our bed, oh it's so near 

Let the light turn green and leave us just like fear 

There's a light turnin' green leavin' us without a prayer 

The world is held together by the wind 

That blows through Gena Rowland's hair 

The world is held together by the wind 

That blows through Gena Rowland's hair
