I can see the white cliffs falling from the plains Rolling down to the sea There's an old tree by the window And the wind beats hard when the sun goes down Down, down, down, in my own town And when the morning comes I won't be around But if you say the word I would always stay And you, hold on to what you've got I can still remember driving in the rain Looking out of an eighteen year old through a hurricane Then the days were longer Was there something in a kiss? Well I don't know if it's this old place or you I'm gonna miss And when the morning comes I won't be around But if you say the word I would always stay And you, hold on to what you've got Now here in the heart of the city That big machine keeps rolling on The rains still falling down And I look out over my street that got caught up in the win They broke some guy who lived down the block, and threw him back again And when the morning comes I won't be around But if you say the word I would always stay And you, hold on to what you've got Oh, and you, hold on to what you've got And you, hold on to what you've got
