Holding On - Roger Chapman

Daylight comes easing the pain

Go to work, try to pick up again on the single life

How did I do it all then?

Now when the cold wind burns into your bones

It’s a sign to wish you weren’t so lonely

Yes the night time brings its own regret

Little things you can’t forget but keep holding on

Yes you keep holding on

But you tell yourself when the eagle flies

That you’ll be lost in someone else’s eyes

Who will help you sweep away the longing

For another heart that’s been and gone but keeps

Holding on yes and keeps holding on

And for a time out there your memory skims

To a wisp of hair blowing in the wind and keeps

Holding on — holding on

And it keeps holding on — holding

Well the whistle blows but you can’t return

To that haunted room where memories burn

So instead of home you head for town

For some hide-away to hang around and keep holding on

Yes and keep holding on

Maybe a flashing eye or some pretty face

Just one more beer might take the place of this

Holding on — holding on

And it keeps holding on — holding

Holding on — holding on

Holding on — holding
