Hold Me

Hold me
Don’t hold me down
Carry me
But keep my feet on the ground

That storm is coming down hard
I’m your shelter every time it starts
But if you leave me, I’ll be moving on
You’ll have a hard time drying
When the fire is gone

I’ll hold ya
I won’t hold ya down
I’ll carry ya
But keep your feet on the ground

You’re the storm and I’m the murray darling
You keep me going
Every time I’m dry
But if you leave me
I’ll be moving on
But have a hard time running
When the weather is gone

Hold me, don’t hold me down
Carry me, but keep my feet on the ground
I’ll hold ya, I won’t hold ya down
I’ll carry ya, but keep your feet on the ground

In so many ways
I just keep pulling
But you’re pushing me away
Me away

Hold me, don’t hold me down
Carry me, but keep my feet on the ground
I’ll hold ya, I won’t hold ya down
Carry ya, but keep your feet on the ground

Hold me, don’t hold me down
Love me, but don’t let me drown

Man of the universe
Well I’ve been running since I was child
Running like a river after the rains have died
Ain't never had one place to call my home
Lay my head in a different place unknown

I wake up early and I wake late
But I never had time to hesitate
I pick up my paper and I pick up my bread
There's room on the road ahead

I don’t want no country to call my own
I don’t need one place to call my home
There ain’t no one place or people are that are better or worse
I’m a man of the universe

Like a good strong flowing river that's never been dammed
Never had to change never had no plan
To collect too much wealth it’s a curse
We never had the sense to change, what’s worse

Never needed no land never need no borders
Never needed to stay in one place to count up pennies or quarters
Never had enough of them to put in my own purse, I'm a man of the universe

I don’t want no country to call my own
I don’t need one place to call my home
There ain’t no one place or people are better or worse
I’m a man of the universe
I’m a man of the universe
I’m not from here I’m from the universe
