Coney Hatch - Holding On

Holding On - Coney Hatch

The doors are closing one by one around us,
is it time to move to a new town
where we're not know quite so well?

The carnival can't stay too long in one place
or the holes begin to show
and the years begin to tell

So pull down the circus tent,
the caravan must roll
the gypsies will disappear
into the night again

[Chorus]
We're holding on, holding on
to dreams we still remember
from our childhood days

Holding on, holding on
Though life and times have changed us
in a thousand ways

The only world we've ever known
is changing now so fast
The dream of a better day, the only thing that lasts

Sleepwalk through the empty autumn park
of these indecisive days
Will we ever see the sun?

Children of the crescent moon that guides us
on our passage through the night
'cause the day refuse to come

There's a time for letting go,
a time when destiny must change
the gypsies will disappear into the night again

[Chorus]
We're holding on, holding on
to dreams we still remember
from our childhood days

Holding on, holding on
Though life and times have changed us
in a thousand ways

The only world we've ever known
is changing now so fast
The dream of a better day, the only thing that lasts

If you're asleep now anyway
would you dream me a universe
and when you wake to the new day,
will you come and find me first
Please come and find me first. I'll be

Holding on, holding on
Though life and times have changed us
(I'll be) Holding on, holding on, Holdin' on

I'll be holding on, holding on
to dreams we still remember
from our childhood days

Holding on, holding on
Though life and times have changed us
in a thousand ways

The only world we've ever known
is changing now so fast
The dream of a better day, the only thing that lasts

The only world we've ever known
is slipping from our grasp
The dream of a better day, the only thing that lasts

The dream of a better day, the only thing that lasts
