Looking back on all those times when we were hand in hand
Toe to toe we were good to go with no lines drawn in the sand
On the beach we were chin deep in the Gulf of Mexico
I thought I'd always see your face there bobbing to and fro
I can't hold on to anything long enough to see it through
Of all the ones who slipped through my fingers
The hardest to hold was you
But that was back in another century, back when we were young
That was the time when I'd hear your voice if the telephone had rung
I can't hold on to anything long enough to see it through
Of all the ones who slipped through my fingers
The hardest to hold, the hardest to hold, the hardest to hold was you
You won't find me on your front lawn boombox in the air
Soon the day will come about when you won't find me anywhere
