Mikael Rickfors - Handle of Hope Lyrics

I have to hide from the landlord, my bills are overdue
And the girl in the seven-eleven, she won't accept my IOU
But still, it doesn't matter
If you're down on your luck this way
If there's someone to hold on to
And maybe brighten up your day
Oh yeah

We need a handle of hope to hold on to
A handle of hope when we're out on the tightrope
Handle of hope, to hold on to
Handle of hope, yeah

My friends think they'll drop the big one
We can kiss each other goodbye
I'd like to think there's still a chance
If we all chip in and try
My girl is a born believer, and she puts her faith in me
And she says
This old world is a real good place huh?
As long as you are here with me
Oh yeah

We need a handle of hope to hold on to
A handle of hope when we're out on the tightrope
Handle of hope, to hold on to
Handle of hope, yeah

Oh no, still it doesn't matter
If you're down on your luck this way
If there's someone to hold on to
And maybe brighten up your day
Oh yeah

We need a handle of hope to hold on to
A handle of hope when we're out on the tightrope
Handle of hope, to hold on to
Handle of hope, yeah
Oh, handle of hope to hold on to
A handle of hope when we're out on the tightrope
Handle of hope, to hold on to
Handle of hope, yeah
