   As my achin' head keeps begging, for a  sleep that will not  come
 
 
  I rise and walk the morning streets again
   I keep wond'rin how you're doin',  and I wonder where  you are
   And I know I'll be all  right but I don't know when
  CH:  Hold on to  me babe,  wherever you may be
   Hold on to  me babe, I'm  with you  always
  There was something locked inside you, like a secret burning pain
  In a prison where you would not let me go
  I was sure we'd find the answer, 'till I woke and found you gone
  Now just what it was I guess I'll never know
 
  I keep holding on to something, though I don't know what it is
  But at least I know the sound of my own name
  And I work as hard as ever, and I see the same old friends
  But there's something deep inside , that ain't the same
 
  Tom repeats the 1st verse at the end
