Hold On To Me, Babe - Tom Paxton

As my aching head is begging for a sleep that will not come

I rise and walk the morning street again

I keep wondering how you’re doing and I wonder where you are

And I know I’ll be all right, but I don’t know when

Hold onto me, babe, wherever you may be

Hold onto me, babe, I’m with you always

There was something locked inside you like a secret burning pain

In a prison where you would not let me go

I was sure we’d find an answer, till I woke and found you gone

Now just what it was, I guess I’ll never know

I keep hanging onto something, but I don’t know what it is

But at least I know the sound of my own name

And I work as hard as ever and I see the same old friends

But there’s something deep inside that ain’t the same

Hold onto me, babe, wherever you may be

Hold onto me, babe, I’m with you always
