[Intro]
Hold back the rain

[Verse 1]
Yes, 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

[Verse 2]
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 can’t laugh all the time

[Chorus]
And if the fires burn out, there's only fire to blame
(Hold back the rain)
No time for worry 'cause we're on the roam again
(Hold back the rain)
The clouds all scatter, and we ride the outside lane
(Hold back the rain)
Not on your own, so help me, please, hold back the rain

[Verse 3]
So what if the words ain't rhymin'?
Did you think that it's just a game?
And I probably didn't even say that right
And I really don't give a damn
[Verse 4]
Okay, go off and wander
I'm guilty just the same
Sometimes you're needed badly
So please come back again

[Chorus]
And if the fires burn out, there's only fire to blame
(Hold back the rain)
No time for worry 'cause we're on the roam again
(Hold back the rain)
The clouds all scatter, and we ride the outside lane
(Hold back the rain)
Not on your own, so help me, please, hold back the rain

Ah, hold back the rain
C'mon, help me
Help me, help me, please, hold back the rain

[Chorus]
And if the fires burn out, there's only fire to blame
(Hold back the rain)
No time for worry 'cause we're on the roam again
(Hold back the rain)
The clouds all scatter, and we ride the outside lane
(Hold back the rain)
Not on your own, so help me, please, hold back the rain
(Hold back the rain), hold back the rain, (Hold back the rain)
Hold back the rain, (Hold back the rain), hold back the rain
(Hold back the rain), hold back the rain

Hey, hey, hold back the rain
I don't wanna do it on my own
Everyone, please, please, please, help me hold back the rain
I just.. want to stay to.. help you hold back the rain

Hold, hold back the rain
Hold, hold back the rain
Hold, hold it back
Hold it back
Hold it back
Hold it back
Hold it back
Hold it back

[Chorus]
And if the fires burn out, there's only fire to blame
Not on your own, so help me, please, hold back the rain
(Hold back the rain)
And if the fires burn out, there's only fire to blame
(Hold back the rain)
Not on your own, so help me, please, hold back the rain
Hold back the rain
Hold back the rain
Hold back the rain
Hold back the rain (Hold back the rain)
Hold back the rain (Hold back the rain)
Hold back the rain (Hold back the rain)
Hold back the rain (Hold back the rain)
Hold back the rain
