Lyric Hold On
{Words & Music: Hazel O Connor}
Hello old friend long time no see
Except the sea between you and me
And that s physical and that s impenetrable
Left you laughing at the dreams that I told you
Now I m laughing at the dreams that they sold me
It s such a shame, you had to join their nasty game
[CHORUS 1:]
You didn t hold on
You didn t hold on
You didn t hold on
To a dream,
Ain t it obscene
The silence in your room is getting me down
The thickly atmosphere descends upon the clown
Who laughs no more, he broke the golden law
[CHORUS 2:]
He didn t hold on
He didn t hold on
He didn t hold on
To the dream,
Ain t it obscene
The way they shake you, try to wake you
Be a man now, be a woman now
Try to shake you up, try to wake you up
Be a grown up, be a sour puss
Never mind my love, I ll leave this for you
Don t bother calling me, maybe I ll call you, so
Stay on the scene
And I ll stay chasing my dreams
[CHORUS 1]
[CHORUS 2]
