[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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...

{Outro]
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
