Hold On — текст песни (Tom Waits)

They hung a sign up in out town
if you live it up, you won`t
live it down
So, she left Monte Rio, son
Just like a bullet leaves a gun
With charcoal eyes and Monroe hips
She went and took that California trip
Well, the moon was gold, her
Hair like wind
She said don`t look back just
Come on Jim
(Chorus)
Oh you got to
Hold on, Hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, I`m standing right here
You gotta hold on

Well, he gave her a dimestore watch
And a ring made from a spoon
Everyone is looking for someone to blame
But you share my bed, you share my name
Well, go ahead and call the cops
You don`t meet nice girls in coffee shops
She said baby, I still love you
Sometimes there`s nothin left to do

Oh you got to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, I`m standing right here, you got to
Just hold on.


Well, God bless your crooked little heart St. Louis got the best of me
I miss your broken-china voice
How I wish you were still here with me

Well, you build it up, you wreck it down
You burn your mansion to the ground
When there`s nothing left to keep you here, when
You`re falling behind in this
Big blue world

Oh you go to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, I`m standing right here
You got to hold on

Down by the Riverside motel,
It`s 10 below and falling
By a 99 cent store she closed her eyes
And started swaying
But it`s so hard to dance that way
When it`s cold and there`s no music
Well your old hometown is so far away
But, inside your head there`s a record
That`s playing, a song called

Hold on, hold on
You really got to hold on
Take my hand, I`m standing right here
And just hold on
