Chorale Lyrics

by John Cale

Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down
To the light in your room hold me down
Where the windows are broken around
And the light of the living shines through

If you like this all broken and empty
Like the streets of N.Y. in the dark
And you need just one friend to hold on to
I'll be there in the darkness just for you

And the cold of the living, and the cold of the dead
Hand in hand from the beginning to the end [2 times]

Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down
To the light in your room hold me down
Where the windows are broken around
And the light of the living shines through

And the cold of the living, and the cold of the dead
Hand in hand from the beginning to the end [2 times]
