"A Celebration" lyrics

We're going to have a celebration
Down at the water's edge
Where that boat carries my friends
Going to be there when the band sways
Swinging low in the day
Going to hear what the good man say

Hold onto the night
Gotta hold onto the night
Better hold onto what you need

Well, we all have empty pockets
Yeah, we're all honest here
When that death rattle is near
Better hope on some moonshine
When those shadows creep
Find your rest in the breath, that's me

Hold onto the night
Gotta hold onto the night
Better hold onto what you need
Hold onto the night
Better hold onto the night
Better hold onto what you need
Ooh
Ooh

Shaking hands with the talisman
Find out what's beneath
I'll close my eyes when my mother sings

Hold onto the night
You better hold onto the night
Better hold onto what you need
Hold onto the night
Better hold onto the night
Better hold onto what you need
Hold onto the night
Better hold onto the night
Better hold onto what you need
