So why are you holding my hand tonight?
I'm not intending to go far away.
I'm just slipping through to the back room;
I'll leave you messages almost every day.

And who was I to last forever?
I didn't promise to stay the pace.
Not in this lifetime, babe, but we'll cling together:
Some kind of heaven written in your face.

So why are you holding my hand tonight?
Well, am I feeling so cold to the touch?
Do my eyes seem to focus on some distant point?
Why do I find it hard to talk too much?

So why are you holding my hand tonight?
I'm not intending to go far away.
I'm just slipping through to the back room--
I'll leave you messages almost every day.
