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
