Lyrics
[verse]
Standing at the window while the autumn light turns thin,
Watching how the weather always knows just where love's been.
Nothing lasts forever, they keep telling me it's true,
But I never thought that lesson would apply to me and you.
[verse]
We built a house of promises on ground that wasn't sure,
Painted every window with a love we thought was cure.
Now the paint is peeling and the garden's turning cold,
And I'm standing in the doorway watching love grow old.
[chorus]
Hold on through the falling rain, hold on if you can,
Nothing stays the way it was, but still we hold hands.
Hold on through the falling rain, though the sky turns gray,
Some love survives the ending of the brightest day.
[verse]
Maybe there's a season somewhere waiting to return,
Maybe every ending is a lesson we still learn.
I'll keep the candle burning by the window one more year,
Just in case the rain clears up and brings you back to here.
[chorus]
Hold on through the falling rain, hold on if you can,
Nothing stays the way it was, but still we hold hands.
Hold on through the falling rain, though the sky turns gray,
Some love survives the ending of the brightest day.
[bridge]
(instrumental — orchestral piano and guitar solo, epic and sweeping)
[chorus]
Hold on through the falling rain, hold on if you can,
Nothing stays the way it was, but still we hold hands.
Hold on through the falling rain, though the sky turns gray,
Some love survives the ending of the brightest day.
