"Holding Out" lyrics - MELANIE

Holding out for a better way
Holding out that's the way I've played it
And playing is no fun when you've got to play alone
Oh love, holding out, holding out

Gather round the flying lady
Feather down to nothing better than
Weathering a storm off the ground and off the bone
And holding on, holding on, holding on

Telephone, please don't ring for nothing
Call me home to a dream that lasts till morning
I never sleep alone without a light on, come and turn it down
So love, hold me down

Oh love, it don't come easy
It brings you down to a bed of roots and reasons
But I don't do well alone, off the ground and off the bone
And holding on, so love hold me down
Hold me down, hold me down

Well it isn't easy breathing, hold me down, no, no
Do you think it's easy singing, hold me down
And it's isn't easy living, hold me down, hold me down
Hold me down, hold me down
It's never easy
