Dark days of winter, the tunnel never ends Whatever you do now you'll never make amends A hard wind is blowing, it's slippy on the street Me and all my friends we're only trying to keep our feet These are the days These are the ways of holding on The shadow of the Pharaohs freezes up the earth They know what the price is, they don't know what it's worth Summer isn't buried, it's only out of sight Me and all my friends we are imagining the light These are the days These are the ways of holding on I can see the island, give me a boat A lifeline to summer, keep my soul afloat Somewhere it's thawing, a trickle has begun Me and all my friends we are just waiting for the sun These are the days These are the ways of holding on
