Holloway Girl Lyrics - Marillion

I was out in the cold of a North London street 

A cog in the hurrying world 

Above the walls and the gate police 

I caught a glimpse of a Holloway girl 

She was reachin' out of a window 

From a space just a few inches wide 

'Till the hand of justice pulled her back inside 

One day, freedom will unlock your door 

So hold on, believe on 

Be who you were before 

One day, freedom will unlock your door 

I know how hard it can be to wait 

For proof you were right all along 

Self-destruction is easy for you 

We know what you're capable of 

But like a needle in a haystack 

The truth gets so disguised 

In a kingdom built on madness and on lies 

One day, freedom will unlock your door 

So hold on, believe on 

Be who you were before 

In deepest darkness, the faintest light looks bright 

So hold on, hold on 

It's gonna be all right 

You're lookin' up at a mountain 

Between you and the outside 

But there isn't a mountain in this whole world 

Hasn't been climbed 

One day, freedom will unlock your door 

So hold on, believe on 

Be who you were before 

In deepest darkness, the faintest light looks bright 

So hold on, hold on 

It's gonna be all right 

One day, freedom 

One day, freedom will unlock your door
