keep on banging that hammer keep on with the stomping of feet because its too late now for a soul in this town to get some sleep keep on moving me closer into the drifting apart because all but time has made up its mind against us so keep on holding me close dont let me know keep on holding me close baby doll so keep on holding me close dont let me know its over i guess that sooner or later maybe its later for some but we all come down with a bad case of longing sometimes but oh how the winter pounds heavy oh how the spring makes us glean id like to pack my bags and hail me a cab and get out get out get out so keep on holding me close dont let me know keep on holding me close baby doll keep on holding me close dont let me know its over oh no
