Sixteen days in Bethlehem Peddling dope to keep drinking wine Pulling women, making gigs Steerin' clear and doin' fine I moved on down to Galilee Trying to find a few new friends I'm throwin' aces everywhere Trying to forget the end So hold me Lord, hold me Lord Hold me tight, I'm slippin' through Hold me Lord, hold me Lord Hold me tight, I beg of You I'm cruising through Jerusalem Dust is flyin' everywhere I'm dodging bullets, making time On the level, in the square They say you kissed your best friend's hand They say you did it for his love They say he got in agony The hand fits well into the glove Woah, hold me Lord, hold me Lord Hold me tight, I'm slippin' through Hold me Lord, hold me Lord Hold me tight, I beg of You Hold me Lord, hold me Lord Hold me tight, I'm slippin' through Hold me Lord, hold me Lord Hold me tight, I beg of You Ohh, hold me Lord, hold me Lord Hold me tight, I'm slippin' through Hold me Lord, hold me Lord Hold me tight, I beg of You Hold me Lord, oh hold me Lord Hold me tight, I'm slippin' through Hold me Lord, hold me Lord Hold me tight, I beg of You
