[Verse 1]
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
[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)
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)
Hey, hey
Hold back the rain
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
Hold back the rain
And if the stars 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...
Hold back the rain...
Hold back the rain...
Hold back the rain...
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
[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)
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)
Hey, hey
Hold back the rain
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
Hold back the rain
And if the stars 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)

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...
