Hold On Lyrics - Hazel O'connor

{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]
