The World According To Lionel

Hold On

The devil’s wind’s been blowing
No sign of relief coming through
I’m feeling like I might be drowning
In this cardboard human zoo
Just bad news every where I’m turning
Hard to say what I should do
When I see all my bridges burning
That’s when you come into view

And you say

Hold on, hold on tight
Hold on baby with all your might
Don’t let a little bit of stormy weather get to you
Hold on baby, the Saints are marching through

Not much in the way of common decency anymore
Only this greed that we feel the need to feed
Sometimes I don’t have the strength to even walk
out my door
Sometimes I have no more blood for them to bleed

But you say…

Cause I look at you and you shine
And I feel the warmth of your hand in mine
And I know everything’s gonna be fine in time
come on baby let me hear you sing that line
the way you sing

My heart kept me up all last night
Pounding like it was gonna break right through
I just laid in the dark, didn’t turn on the light
Just laid there thinking about you

And the way you say
