Everyone You Hold

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Everyone you hold takes a piece of you away; Everyone you know pricks the image of the human clay And everybody's laughing – The joke goes mouth to mouth and slips away [Verse 2] Everyone you hold leaves you something of themself; Everyone you told spreads your secret on the warehouse shelf And everybody buys it For everyone's in commerce and in trade [Bridge] When every sweet embrace has faded The voices dip, the faces dim and memory drifts away – Still you stay in everyone you hold Ooh (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) Ooh (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) Ooh (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Ah-ah-ah-ah) [Verse 3] Everyone you hold, no, they never leave your side; Everybody knows there are secrets we can't hope to hide If everyone is with you Then you can never be alone at all And everyone forgives you – Accumulated whispers, Chinese walls [Bridge] Now everyone you knew With smiles that you've seen through We flag, it's true... But you're still in everyone you hold [Outro] Everyone you hold Everyone you hold Everyone you told Knows
