Hold Each Other Now

It's one o'clock in the afternoon

I'm drunk at the bar

She comes and sits down beside me

Says "boy, don't know how lucky you are

I gotta place round the corner

Or we can go to your car

I can take you to heaven

Won't cost much to see God"

Mmmm

This emptiness inside us

Can easily divide us

But if we hold each other now

Mercy and kindness

Just may remind us

To hold each other now

 

If you're tired of the table

On which your life is as stake

When your heart's lost it's rhythm

When you owe more than you make

When you're holding it together

But your grip is starting to break

Come and sit down beside me

We'll drink one to our mistakes

Mmmm

 

This emptiness inside us

can easily divide us

But if we hold each other now

Mercy and kindness

Just may remind us

To hold each other now

 

Hold each other

Hold each other

 

I know when it's raining

Just like I know when i'm alone

We stumble through lives

Just like I'm about to stumble on home

I gave that woman a fifty

Told her to take it and go

And I hope where she's headed

It's mercy she knows

Mmmm

 

This emptiness inside us

Can easily divide us

But if we hold each other now

Mercy and kindness

Just may remind us

To hold each other now
