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.
