Let me tell you my friends
One mortal to another
Listen to the words, I have, for you
Lend me your ear
Hold my hand, call me brother
Every word I promise, will be, true
There's a place I see, in the all-too-distant light
Of the sun and rain (and rain)
Where the young men live,
For Saturday night Coming round again... (Chorus)
Hold on to me 'til it's over,
Cause I can't remember the last time I was
Sober, From the morning, to the night, ohh-oh
Hold on to me 'til it's over,
Cause I can't remember the last time it
Was so far, From the shadow, to the light...
Well lately I confess I am tempted,
By the notion Of a wayfarer wandering, the earth
The streets of the cities
The currents of the ocean
Miles from the country of my, birth
There's a place where fear,
Disappears in the light Of an honest friend...
And the young men dying, for Saturday night Coming round again...
Hold on to me 'til it's over,
Cause I can't remember the last time I was
Sober, From the morning, to the night, ohh-oh
Hold on to me 'til it's over,
Cause I can't remember the last time it was so far,
From the shadow, to the light...
There's a place I see, in the all-too-distant light
Of the sun and rain (and rain)
But no matter what lies ahead of us now
We will be OK...
Hold on to me 'til it's over,
Cause I can't remember the last time I was
Sober, From the morning, to the night, ohh-oh
Hold on to me 'til it's over,
Cause I can't remember the last time it was so far, From the shadow...
Hold on to me 'til it's over,
Cause I can't remember the last time I was
Sober, From the morning, to the night, ohh-oh
Hold on to me 'til it's over,
Cause I can't remember the last time it was so far,
From the shadow, to the light...
Repeated ohh-oh's till end.
