Holding Out - Melanie

Holding out for a better way

Holding out that’s the way I’ve played it

And playing is no fun when you’ve got to play alone

Oh love, holding out, holding out

Gather round the flying lady

Feather down to nothing better than

Weathering a storm off the ground and off the bone

And holding on, holding on, holding on

Telephone, please don’t ring for nothing

Call me home to a dream that lasts till morning

I never sleep alone without a light on, come and turn it down

So love, hold me down

Oh love, it don’t come easy

It brings you down to a bed of roots and reasons

But I don’t do well alone, off the ground and off the bone

And holding on, so love hold me down

Hold me down, hold me down

Well it isn’t easy breathing, hold me down, no, no

Do you think it’s easy singing, hold me down

And it’s isn’t easy living, hold me down, hold me down

Hold me down, hold me down

It’s never easy
