Holding On To Nothing Lyrics - Croz - David Crosby

After holding on to nothing for awhile 

I glanced to see what waited there 

A shadow leaning easy by a window 

A scent of something recent in the air 

Nothing runs faster than time at night 

But time slows down every day 

All those hours with nothing to do 

Holding nothing again today 

Sunny days can fool you 

They can look wet with rain 

And even words from a friend can bring back 

The pain

Memories come back on their own 

Birds fly south in the sky 

Pictures are drawn pencil sketches at dawn 

Wishes that I too could fly 

Sunny days can fool you 

They can look wet with rain 

And even words from a friend can bring back 

The pain

All the pictures I see are smiling at me 

But today I'm somebody new 

Not really knowing just coming and going 

A stranger just passing through
