Hold Me Up

about

About taking advice, or choosing not to.

lyrics

Someone told me long ago "You'd better mind, young man,
You'd better do just what you're told or there'll be trouble"
I know they told me all this because they loved me,
But at the time it didn't make much sense
Someone told me "You'd better keep on the straight and narrow, young man
There's temptation always calling from every shadow"
But the sins of the flesh were like a beacon and I was drawn like a moth to a flame
Who's going to carry me tomorrow?
Legless and fearful of the willows?
You better hold me up or lay me down to sleep
Just so you know, I often give myself good advice
But the counsel I'm keeping isn't mine
The radio that's in my soul is broadcasting lies and I'm quite happy to believe
Who's going to carry me tomorrow?
Who's going to take away my sorrow?
You'd better hold me up or lay me down to sleep
Someone told me "You'd better look to your soul, young man
You'd better wake up, you'd better stand up before you fall"
But how can I worry about saving my soul
When I can't even find the door?
Who's going to carry me tomorrow?
Who's going to take away my sorrow?
You'd better hold me up or lay me down to sleep
