Holding Out Lyrics

Holding out
Melanie Safka

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
