Lyrics
Hold onto love that is what I do now that I've found you
And from above everything's stinking, they're not around you

And in the night, I could be helpless
I could be lonely, sleeping without you
And in the day, everything's complex
There's nothing simple when I'm not around you

But I'll miss you when you're gone
That is what I do, hey, baby
And it's going to carry on
That is what I do, hey, baby

Hold onto my hands, I feel I'm sinking, sinking without you
And to my mind, everything's stinking, stinking without you

And I'll miss you when you're gone
That is what I do, hey, baby
And it's going to carry on
That is what I do, hey, baby

Hey, baby
