Hold On To Me Babe

(album: Belafonte On Campus - 1967)

As my aching head is begging for a sleep that will not come
I rise and walk the morning streets again
I keep a 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 on to me babe, wherever you may be
Hold on to 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

Hold on to me babe, wherever you may be
Hold on to me babe, I'm with you always

I keep hanging onto something no 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 and it ain't the same

Hold on to me babe, wherever you may be
Hold on to me babe, I'm with you always
