  As my achin' head keeps begging, for a sleep that will not come

  [7]

I rise and walk the morning streets again

  I keep wond'rin how you're doin', and I wonder where you are

  And I know I'll be all right but I don't know when

  CH: Hold on to me babe, wherever you may be

  Hold on to me babe, I'm with you always

There was something locked inside you, like a secret burning pain

In a prison where you would not let me go

I was sure we'd find the answer, 'till I woke and found you gone

Now just what it was I guess I'll never know

I keep holding on to something, though I don't know what it is

But at least I know the sound of my own name

And I work as hard as ever, and I see the same old friends

But there's something deep inside , that ain't the same

Tom repeats the 1st verse at the end
