about

WHO'S HOLDING ONTO THE ROPE
I had a friend who like myself was a street entertainer. He was a lovely man and a risk taker who died young. He was inspiring and sometimes scary. I remember him here in dreams and nightmares!

lyrics

WHO’S HOLDING ON TO THE ROPE

I’ve been shaky since this morning
Cause I had a dream last night
There was you on a double-decker bus
jumping over motorbikes
Hold on I’m coming
Hold on I’ll be there
Hold on I’ll come running to you
Hold on hold on my dear…

Overhead the stars were shining
Lighting up your name
I really thought we were going up in the world
Where you just coming down in flames?
Hold on…

Is this a happy ending?
Or just one more broken hope
I see Houdini has just disappeared
So who’s holding on to the rope.
Hold on…

Now the hero is in pieces
The comic is in strips
Another cliff-hanger ending
Dangling by your fingertips
Hold on…

I’ve been shaky since this morning
Cause I had a dream last night
There was you on a double Decker bus
Jumping over motorbikes
Look out!
Hold on I’m coming
Hold on I’ll be there
Hold on I’ll come running to you
Hold on hold on my dear…
