[00:22.13] In the middle of the night,
[00:23.93] When everyone is sleeping
[00:27.84] Once the bands have died down
[00:29.17] And our brothers and our sisters have gone
[00:33.25] I feel the shaking in my sides,
[00:35.30] Conscious and familiar
[00:38.49] I pace some unfamiliar street
[00:39.63] Until I pass out or calm down enough
[00:43.57] And I can't tell you how desperate some times I've gotten
[00:48.90] You gotta just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on Maria
[00:54.87] You gotta just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
[00:57.78] I'm coming home
[01:00.21] Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
[01:02.87] I nearly lost you
[01:05.50] You gotta just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
[01:08.96] I'm coming home
[01:11.84] And in the middle of the day, when the heat keeps on rising
[01:17.26] The fear of sickness, or breakdown or infidelity
[01:19.48] Makes its rounds
[01:22.38] And in the drag of the late afternoon, settling in to evening
[01:28.04] Well, that I just can't describe with a dry eye or American words
[01:33.37] And I can't tell you how many times I just want to lie down
[01:38.67] You gotta just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on Maria
[01:44.39] You gotta just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
[01:47.23] I'm coming home
[01:49.84] You gotta just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
[01:52.89] I nearly lost you
[01:55.66] Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
[01:58.13] I'm coming home
[01:59.79]
[02:12.67] You and your high-top sneakers and your sailor tattoos
[02:15.62] And your old fifty-five that you drove through the roof
[02:17.97] Of the sky up above these indifferent stars
[02:21.71] While you just kept coming apart
[02:23.28] Hold on, hold on, hold on!
[02:25.84] You gotta just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on Maria
[02:31.06] You gotta just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
[02:34.17] I'm coming home
[02:37.11] These records and these bands and electric guitars really matter
[02:42.19] To these hands and these arms and this tired Irish heart made of stone
[02:47.64] You gotta just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
[02:51.23] Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
[02:52.47] You gotta just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
[02:56.72] Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
[02:59.64]
