Lyrics Hold on to Me Babe - Tom Paxton

Hold on to Me Babe

As my aching head is begging for a sleep that will not come
I rise and walk the morning street again
I keep wondering how you’re doing and I wonder where you are
And I know I’ll be all right, but I don’t know when
Hold onto me, babe, wherever you may be
Hold onto 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 an answer, till I woke and found you gone
Now just what it was, I guess I’ll never know
I keep hanging onto something, but 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
Hold onto me, babe, wherever you may be
Hold onto me, babe, I’m with you always
