And when regrets come The evening air grows cold And when regrets come Islands move from pole to pole You search for something to hold onto But there is nothing left to hold CHORUS Vocals & Keyboards: Robin Frederick Guitar: Mike Sims Bass: Dave Marotta Drums: Roy Campanella III & Mike Sims Addit'l Keyboards: Roy Campanella III This track is from the album "Water Falls Down (Remastered with Bonus Track)" by Robin Frederick Genre Singer Songwriter
