Holdin' on barely holdin' on I know if I led off you'll be gone

------ that's holdin' you here and I'm just barely barely holdin' on



I never will forget that feelin' you said love is gone you were leavin'

The hand on the clock is going around and I was in the water going down

Holdin' on barely holdin' on...

[ steel ]

Now every hour brings you closer to goin' and I already feel the hurt of growin'

You're gonna leave that mighty lonely girl

How much longer can I hold you in my world

Cause I'm just holdin' on...

Yeah I'm just barely barely holdin' on
