Never Let Go Lyrics - Tones

Well, ring the bell backwards and bury the axe 

Fall down on your knees in the dirt 

I'm tied to the mast between water and wind 

Believe me, you'll never get hurt 

Our ring's in the pawnshop, the rain's in the hole 

Down at the Five Points(1) I stand 

I'll lose everything 

But I won't let go of your hand 

Well, Peter denied and Judas betrayed 

I'll bail with the roll of the drum 

And the wind will tell the turn from the wheel 

And the watchman is making his rounds 

Well, you'll leave me hanging by the skin of my teeth 

I've only got one leg to stand 

You can send me to hell 

But I'll never let go of your hand 

Swing from a rope on a cross-legged dream(?) 

Signed with One Eyed Jack's blood 

From Temple to Union, to LA and Grand 

Walking back home in the mud(2) 

Now I must make my best of the only way home 

Molly deals only in stone 

I'm lost on the midway, I'm reckless in your eyes 

Just give me a couple more throws 

I'll dare you to dine with the cross-legged knight 

Dare me to jump and I will 

I'll fall from your grace 

But I'll never let go of your hand 

I'll never let go of your hand
