Hold On (I'm On My Way) lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Now the days are getting longer

My dreams are growing stronger

I need to be back home again

With the one I love

Not a job to be had where I'm from

No one left, it seems they've all gone

Up there in the northern towns

Shipyards closing down

Oh but here in the south

I've had enough

It's time to go back home

Hold on cause I'm on my way

You're going to feel my kisses come today

Hold on when I'm on the train

You're going to hear that whistle blow

Be strong cause I'm on my way

You're going to feel my loving arms today

Not long till I'm on the train

You're going to hear that whistle blow

Many more have had to leave now

Gotta find a job and somehow

Make a living in a different world

That our fathers knew

Better days will surely be here

I got to go cause I gotta see her

So hard for those at home

Waiting all alone

And when you call at night

And you begin to cry

It's time to go back home

Hold on cause I'm on my way

You're going to feel my kisses come today

Hold on cause I'm on the train

You're going to hear that whistle blow

Be strong cause I'm on my way

You're going to feel my loving arms today

Not long cause I'm on my train

You're going to hear that whistle blow

You're going to hear that whistle blow

You're going to hear that whistle blow

Hold on

Hold on, cause I'm on my way

Hold on

Hold on, cause I'm on my way

Hold on

Hold on, cause I'm on my way

Hold on

Hold on, cause I'm on my way

Hold on
