Hold Back Time - Brian Wilson, Van Dyke Parks

Van dyke parks

We painted inside and out with just a gallon of joy

We had the girl and the boy

And love was never a toy

Just like that old rusty ford we restored out in back

It made that clickety-clack

Our new old house by the track

At her window was a touch of lavender lace

I remember her face

Too many rainbows to chase

Right through the cracks of the paint

Come the tracks of the train

Scatter like diamonds of rain

Down our old blacktop two lane

Hold back time

Dont talk about tomorrow

Tell that old clock on the wall

Hell just have to call it a day

Hold back time

When were in each others arms

Were in each others arms

So hold back time

With that old country hymn spinning round in her brain

She kept her fancy for play

More than for fortune and fame

Now when we feel every wheel spinnin steel on that track

We shake the dust off the sack

In our old house by the track

Hold back time

Dont talk about tomorrow

Tell that old clock on the wall

Hell just have to call it a day

Hold back time

When were in each others arms

Were in each others arms

So hold back time

Time
