Your body aches, the walls close in on you
Lost in view, no diamonds in the mine
Lies and pain, no roses in the rain
But soon there comes a time, those clouds roll away
You’ll find your way through
Though you walk into the gloom, sundown ends in new morning
Some heart beats for you, moving, touching you
Help you hold on somehow
Roll away the ghosts and the shadow
Call to you, the seers and the wise
All in vain, fear of losing everything
All your soul requires, you’ll find that in you
You’ll find your way through
Though you walk into the gloom, sundown ends in new morning
Some heart beats for you, moving, touching you
Help you hold on somehow
Wonderful what the power of love can do
Makes you whole, calms the storm for you
Removes this livid line, heals all this bloody shame
Life will turn around
Bye bye baby blue, take this lonely room
Break down the walls, burn ‘em
All your dreams come true, never doubt that soon
You’ll be soaring, flying
You know you’ll find your way through
Though you walk into the gloom, sundown ends in new morning
Some heart beats for you, moving, touching you
Help you hold on somehow

Hold On

Hold on, oh-oh, hold on
I’m holding you, falling through the lonely blue
Hold on, oh-oh, hold on
I’m only a moment away, call and I’ll come to you
There was a flickering flame and then the fire was low
It took the breath of an angel flitting by to recover the glow
This flame will never die
Hold on, oh-oh, hold on
I’m holding you, falling through the lonely blue
Hold on, oh-oh, hold on
I’m only a moment away, call and I’ll come to you
The fear of the moonshine, I thought we’d never get through
Air as rare as the mountain’s up on high, where the world’s out of view
The cost was oh so high
They came to you out of the blue
Your kiss adieu, nothing but love in your eyes
Watching you go in, waiting
Emotion mounting higher
As we pray that you’ll come through
True, true, we never see how much it means
‘Til we could lose it
Hold on, oh-oh, hold on
I’m holding you, falling through the lonely blue
Hold on, oh-oh, hold on
I’m only a moment away, call and I’ll come to you

You Don't Get Long

You don't get long
You'd better make honey while you can
When all goes wrong
You hold it in your hand
Away it slides and gone
You're gonna get to know that your time's up
Running from your lover one day
I'll see you falling under cloudy skies
There's something wrong, learning in the loop
That you gotta go home is a hard thing to do
When you feel it come over you
Now it's got you it's too late
You feel it in your bones
You have to play your hand when days are sunny
Now you got money, hope disease will leave you alone
You don't get long
You'd better make honey while you can
When all goes wrong
You hold it in your hand
Away it slides and gone
You'd better make a change while the going's good
Don't leave it for another day
Though your plan's gone wrong don't give it all away
'Cos the stars that shine, the rivers and the sea
They all have to go home, waves crashing on the shore
What do you gain from pennies on your eyes?
And does the band keep playing all night?
Understand the tide is flowing, just go where it's going
And the time and place will be right
You don't get long
But is it really time to go?
'Cos life goes on
And how we'd like to know
Where younger days have gone
You don't get long
You'd better make honey while you can
When all goes wrong
You hold it in your hand
Away it slides and gone

On Board The Plane

On board the plane, feeling new
Been down a rocky road and I fell on the way
All the grey falls away
Maybe something you said
I sent back the love, I followed the flame
Now I know there’s another way
I’ll rise again, I’ll break the chain
You’ll find neither hide nor hair
I’ll take to my wings and fly
By Janus I made the change
‘Cos I was born to give and be given
A shining blade to cut through the ties
I’m living my life in the way I want to
My time to shine
A bright burning flame, ooh, alight in me now
On board the plane, feeling new
Been down a rocky road and I fell on the way
All the grey falls away
Maybe something you said
I sent back the love, I followed the flame
On board the plane,
Been down a rocky road and I fell on the way
Now I am free, allow me to see
Your ways that are gone
And the ways that live on in me
