Cowboy Junkies - Hold on to me lyrics

If you offered me a shade of blue

would I return it saying that it was too

dark or light?

Or would I see it for the precious thing

that it might one day be?

Hold on to me

If you offered me a point of view

would I dismiss it saying that it was too

black and white?

Or would I see it as the special thing

That it would no doubt be?

Hold on to me

I'll hold on to this gift we share

it is as slippery as it is rare

I'll hold on to that feeling

of waking and finding you there

I'll hold on to you and you hold on to me

If I asked you for a simple thing

Would you do it without too much thinking or fuss?

Would you see it for the precious thing

that it would surely be?

Hold on to me

Hold on to me

Hold on to me
