Gerry Rafferty Lyrics

"Hang On" lyrics


When life gets toughWhen this old road gets roughWhat happens to me and youWhat do we do -- we hang on.
When you confessYour life is in a messAnd only you can muddle throughWhat do you do -- you hang on.
Love is blind, love is kindWhat do you do when it leaves you behindLike yesterday's papers -- like yesterday's news.
You don't wanna be all by yourselfYou don't wanna be left on the shelfWhen you're feeling small and tired of it all.
Those lonely daysThose sad and lonely daysLeft sad and blue without a clueWhat do you do -- you hang on.
Love is real -- love can healWhat do you do when the love that you feelTurns out to be one dream that never came true.
You imagined it was so much moreNow you're stranded on another shoreAnd you don't expect to resurrect.
A love gone wrongA love that was so strongLeft sad and blue without a clueWhat do you do -- you hang on.
