John Denver – Hold On To Me lyrics
This song appears on three albums, and was first released on Different Directions album, and has also been released on The John Denver Collection - Take Me Home Country Roads album.
We were live on arrival
Safe home at last
No cannon fire dockside
No flags half-mast
We were sold out for siver
And a string of black pearls
On the loneliest island
At the edge of the world
Like destiny's children
Souls lost at sea
No room on the lifeboat
You can hold on to me
Now the voyage is over
We're back on dry land
In our eyes are the stories
The rope and the brand
Like destiny's children
Souls lost at sea
No room on the lifeboat
You can hold on to me
Words by Nick Smith, Music by Joe Camilleri
We were live on arrival
Safe home at last
No cannon fire dockside
No flags half-mast
We were sold out for siver
And a string of black pearls
On the loneliest island
At the edge of the world
Like destiny's children
Souls lost at sea
No room on the lifeboat
You can hold on to me
Now the voyage is over
We're back on dry land
In our eyes are the stories
The rope and the brand
Like destiny's children
Souls lost at sea
No room on the lifeboat
You can hold on to me
