Hold the Fort Songtext
von The Great Park

Oh I am not what you came for
I am only whats left here
I am not what you came for
I′m only what you find here
You see as soon as the snow came
The good boys all upped and went

And they said hold the fort son
And I said well I'll do my best

See I was married to a brave one
Who stood by her stupid one
Who stood by when she could have been dancing away
Yeah I was married to a strange one
Who stood by me though I know not why

They said hold the fort son
And I said well I can but try


So I left her for the winter
I left her for the cold
I left her for the winter the wind and the snow
And the smoke and the coal
And the greed the need to be alone

But when they said hold the fort son
I never thought I′d make it my home

Now there are houses deserted
Thrown and abandoned
Pieces of people now scattered and random
But every place needs a caretaker
Someone anyone with the key

When they said hold the fort son
I would never believe they'd leave me

So I am not what you came for
I am only what's left here
I am not what you came for
I am only what you find here
And we must make what we can
From what we′ve got for good or for bad
Tread lightly through the willows
But promise me that I can come back
