Four Bitchin' Babes - Hold On To My Love lyrics

rate me

Seventeen, I'd left behind my<br />

Pleated plaids and navy knee socks,<br />

Stumbled onto campus in my platform shoes.<br />

Feeling young and unafraid <br />

I moved from a passing grade to<br />

Passing bottles in brown wrappers,<br />

Passing out in strangers rooms. <br />

It was a crazy time; <br />

The world was unraveling.<br />

And I would cling to any line,<br />

To anyone, to anything.<br />

If I could just find my way<br />

To feel familiar tapestry,<br />

To hold a thread of sanity<br />

And someone said to me: <br />

Hold on to my love, <br />

My love, my love<br />

Hold on to my love <br />

Now I can see it your eyes;<br />

They look at mine defiantly.<br />

Seventeen-- no surprise<br />

God, you look so much like me!<br />

The style Ive seen before,<br />

The hair, the clothesits all been worn.<br />

Honey, it's the uniform<br />

Of non-conformity <br />

And history has her patterns<br />

I remember seventeen-<br />

Between the past and the future,<br />

Youre caught somewhere in the seam.<br />

<br />

And if your dreams no longer fit you,<br />

If the ones you once held dear<br />

Start to fade and disappear<br />

Remember- hope is here.<br />

<br />

Hold on to my love<br />

I don't profess to know the future,<br />

Couldnt guess beyond today.<br />

This thread of hope is all I offer<br />

If the fabrics torn away.<br />

Disillusioned, disconnected,<br />

Sometimes it's hard to see <br />

There is method to this madness,<br />

Pattern to this tapestry <br />

When people talk of cutting things,<br />

Cutting corners, cutting lines,<br />

Ties and losses, apron strings,<br />

Connections to another time,<br />

There's something here for you to hold,<br />

As long as you're a child of mine,<br />

This thread is strong as it is fine,<br />

I cried when I wrote this line <br />

Hold on to my love
