Hold Back The Rain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We're miles away from nowhere
And the wind doesn't have a name
So call it what you want to call it
Still blows down the lane
People tell me I haven't changed at all
But I don't feel the same
And I bet you've had that feeling, too
You just can't laugh all the time
And if the fires burn out
There's only fire to blame
No time for worry 'cause we're on the roam again
The clouds all scatter and
We ride the outside lane
Not on your own, so help me
Please hold back the rain
So what if the words ain't rhyming
Did you think that it's just a game
I probably didn't even say that right
And I really don't give a damn
Okay, go off and wander
I'm guilty just the same
Sometimes you're needed badly
So please come back again
And if the fires burn out
There's only fire to blame
No time for worry 'cause we're on the roam again
The clouds all scatter and
We ride the outside lane
Not on your own, so help me
Please hold back the rain
