Hold On - Hazel O'Connor

Hello old friend long time no see

Except the sea between you and me

And that’s physical and that’s impenetrable

Left you laughing at the dreams that I told you

Now I’m laughing at the dreams that they sold me

It’s such a shame, you had to join their nasty game

You didn’t hold on

You didn’t hold on

You didn’t hold on

To a dream

Ain’t it obscene

The silence in your room is getting me down

The thickly atmosphere descends upon the clown

Who laughs no more, he broke the golden law

He didn’t hold on

He didn’t hold on

He didn’t hold on

To the dream

Ain’t it obscene

The way they shake you, try to wake you

Be a man now, be a woman now

Try to shake you up, try to wake you up

Be a grown up, be a sour puss

Never mind my love, I’ll leave this for you

Don’t bother calling me, maybe I’ll call you, so

Stay on the scene

And I’ll stay chasing my dreams
