Till The Cows Come Home Lyrics - Singles - Farmer Boys

You told me to hold on here 

To hold on like day old beer 

To hold on for your return 

May I yearn and burn? 

I sit in my rocking chair 

And swing like a doctrinaire 

On things that won't be so 

Up and down 

Day by day, all night long, 

All the years you have been gone 

I hold on here 

Till the cows come home 

The bitterness inside me 

Embraces me totally 

And opens me finally 

I have been alone 

I hold on a rocking chair again 

And swing like a doctrinaire again 

On things that won't be so 

Up and down 

Day by day, all night long, 

All the years you have been gone 

I hold on here 

Till the cows come home 

Oh god I'm yearning, 

I'm always burning 

For things that are gone 

But now I'm learning 

To stop turning around, to hold on 

That's not a song about you, 

not about me, not about anyone 

Maybe an outstanding account to be paid 

For all the days, all night long, all the years 

I hold on till the cows come home
