[Verse 1]

Born in '39

When the world were ?

You had bigger wars to fight

Had a sister too

Who was just the same

She was lost that night

When you lost your light

Ohhh

[Verse 2]

Can't give up

Though you're dead inside

Think of all the people close

Far more pain than you could ever hide

Now it took too much

Now it took too much

Woah-oh-oh

[Chorus]

Hold my hands

Don't leave me now

Don't leave me now

Hold my hands

Don't leave me now

Don't leave me now

[Verse 3]

You gave so much to your family

Made us all feel safe and sound

And we tried with love our best cavalry

Watch you fade away and at last set free

Ohhh-oh-oh

[Refrain]

I followed you down to the flood once more

Watched you sail off with a sister of yours

Reach the horizon but I had to stay

Hope we'll all unite on the boat one day

I followed you down to the flood once more

Watched you sail off with a sister of yours

Reach the horizon but I had to stay

Hope we'll all unite on the boat one day

[Chorus 2]

Hold my hands

We're leaving now

We're leaving now

Hold my hands

We're leaving now

We're leaving now

Hold my hands

We're leaving now

We're leaving now

Hold my hands

We're leaving now

We're leaving now

[Refrain]

I followed you down to the flood once more

Watched you sail off with a sister of yours

Reach the horizon but I had to stay

Hope we'll all unite on the boat one day

[Refrain and Chorus]

I followed you down to the flood once more (Hold my hands)

Watch you sail off with a sister of yours (We're leaving now, we're leaving now)

Reach the horizon but I had to stay (Hold my hands)

Hope we'll all unite on the boat one day (We're leaving now, we're leaving now)
