Ways of Holding On
[Verse 1]
Dark days of winter, the tunnel never ends
Whatever you do now you'll never make amends
Hard wind is blowing, slippy on the street
Me and all my friends we're only trying to keep our feet

[Chorus]
These are the days
These are the ways of holding on
These are the days
These are the ways of holding on

[Verse 2]
Shadow of the Pharaohs freezes up the earth
They know what the price is but they don't know what it's worth
Summer isn't buriеd, it's only out of sight
Me and all my friends we arе imagining the light

[Chorus]
These are the days
These are the ways of holding on
These are the days
These are the ways of holding on

[Verse 3]
I can see the island, give me a boat
A lifeline to summer, keep my soul afloat
Somewhere it's thawing, a trickle has begun
Me and all my friends we're just waiting for the sun
[Chorus]
These are the days
These are the ways of holding on
These are the days
These are the ways of holding on

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
These are the days
These are the ways of holding on
These are the days
These are the ways of holding on

[Outro]
These are the days
These are the ways of holding on
These are the days
These are the ways of holding on
