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
Where the young men live for Saturday night
Coming round again
Hold onto me till it's over
Cause I can't remember the last time I was sober
From the morning to the night
Hold onto me till 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 onto me till it's over
Cause I can't remember the last time I was sober
From the morning to the night
Hold onto me till 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
But no matter what lies
Ahead of us now
We will be OK
Hold onto me till it's over
Cause I can't remember the last time I was sober
From the morning to the night
Hold onto me till it's over
Cause I can't remember the last time it was so far
From the shadow...
Hold onto me till it's over
Cause I can't remember the last time I was sober
From the morning to the night
Hold onto me till it's over
Cause I can't remember the last time it was so far
From the shadow to the light
