As my aching head is begging for a sleep that will not come
I rise and walk the morning street again
I keep wondering how you’re doing and I wonder where you are
And I know I’ll be all right, but I don’t know when
Hold onto me, babe, wherever you may be
Hold onto me, babe, I’m with you always
There was something locked in side you like a secret burning pain
In a prison where you would not let me go
I felt sure we’d find the answer, when I awoke and found you gone
For just what it was, I guess I’ll never know
Hold onto me, babe, wherever you may be
Hold onto me, babe, I’m with you always
I keep hanging onto something, but I don’t know what it is
But at least I know the sound of my own name
I keep working just as hard and I see the same old friends
But there’s something deep inside that’s not the same
Hold onto me, babe, wherever you may be
Hold onto me, babe, I’m with you always
As my aching head is begging for a sleep that will not come
I rise and walk the morning street again
I keep wondering how you’re doing and I wonder where you are
And I know I’ll be all right, but I don’t know when
Hold onto me, babe, wherever you may be
Hold onto me, babe, I’m with you always
