In the winter chill, in the wintertime
Warmth of heart got hard to find
Nowhere could we hear a familiar sound
The dawn broke with my heart
But I woke up in your arms that held me hanging on
Hanging on in my own sweet time
In the gathering dark, in the gathering night
Warmth of heart, so hard to find
A fiery flame of golden light
I will kindle with my breath
And with all that I have left I’ll just keep hanging on
Hanging on in my own sweet time
Hold my hand and don’t go looking back,
hold my hand, don’t look back
I know a way to find an open track,
hold my hand, don’t look back
All your hope is my hope, all of your joy, my joy
All your tears are my tears, all your loss, my void
I will tether your fear, if you fall, I fall
Though our days get lost afar
There’s an anchor in my heart that keeps me hanging on
Hanging on in my own sweet time
Hold my hand and don’t go looking back,
hold my hand, don’t look back
I know a way to find an open track,
hold my hand, don’t look back
Some other day, when my morning comes,
I’ll be the one that’s waited all night
Some other day, when my morning comes,
I’ll be the one that’s waited all night
Some other day, when my morning comes,
I’ll be the one that’s waited all night
Some other day, when my morning comes,
I’ll be the one that’s waited all night
Some other day, when my morning comes,
I’ll be the one that’s waited all night
