Hazel O'Connor - Hold On lyrics

rate me

{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]
