Here To Eternity Lyrics - Big Country

How will I know if it's not like the first time 

How will I know if this is the one 

I try and hold you not for the first time 

You step away and the past goes on 

If I hold out for you will you hold out for me 

Hold out from here to eternity 

If I wait for you will you come to me 

I need you from here to eternity 

Times I walk through empty and aimless 

Dragging days like a worn out mule 

A night so empty it can only be painless 

Weak and weary as your favorite fool 

If I hold out for you will you hold out for me 

Hold out from here to eternity 

If I wait for you will you come to me 

I need you from here to eternity 

I need you from here to eternity 

I carry on 

I must take comfort in the little you leave me 

The ring you stole on the darkest night 

The weight of souvenirs that lie to deceive me 

The dust of journeys and the scent of life 

If I hold out for you will you hold out for me 

Hold out from here to eternity 

If I wait for you will you come to me 

I need you from here to eternity 

I need you from here to eternity 

I carry on
