Holloway Girl

(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth)



I was out in the cold of a north london street

A cog in the hurrying world

Above the walls and the gate police

I caught a glimpse of a holloway girl



She was reachin' out of a window

From a space just a few inches wide

'till the hand of justice pulled her back inside



One day, freedom will unlock your door

Hold on. believe on.

Be who you were before

One day, freedom will unlock your door



I know how hard it can be to wait

For proof you were right all along

Self destruction is easy for you

We know what you're capable of



But like a needle in a haystack

The truth gets so disguised

In a kingdom built on madness and on lies



One day, freedom will unlock your door

So hold on. believe on

Be who you were before

In deepest darkness

The faintest light shines bright

So hold on, hold on

It's gonna be alright



You're lookin' up at a mountain

Between you and the outside

But there isn't a mountain in this whole world

Hasn't been climbed



One day, freedom will unlock your door

So hold on. believe on.

Be who you were before

In deepest darkness, the faintest light shines bright

So hold on. hold on.

It's gonna be alright

One day, freedom

One day, freedom

One day, freedom will unlock your door
