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
