The Cowboy Junkiesare a Canadian alt-country/ alternative rockband, formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family. The group formed in Toronto in 1985. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name, but that song was written especially for Cowboy Junkies several years after they coined the name.) The Trinity Sessionis perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane".

Hold On To Me Lyrics
Cowboy Junkies
If you offered me a shade of blue
Would I return it saying that it was too
Dark or light?
Or would I see it for the precious thing
That it might one day be?
Hold on to me
If you offered me a point of view
Would I dismiss it saying that it was too
Black and white?
Or would I see it as the special thing
That it would no doubt be?
Hold on to me
Ill hold on to this gift we share
It is as slippery as it is rare
Ill hold on to that feeling
Of waking and finding you there
Ill hold on to you and you hold on to me
If I asked you for a simple thing
Would you do it without too much thinking or fuss?
Would you see it for the precious thing
That it would surely be?
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
