I've been around the block
Not as many times as you, but I've seen a lot
To see the sadness in your eyes
Is enough to make an angel cry
Hold on, it won't be long
Hold on, your prayers for rain will bring this to an end
You're cradling these tears
Like they've come to keep you warm
And you can't do without
And I can't watch you let go
Of things that once were precious
And enriched your soul
Hold on, it won't be long
Hold on, it won't be long
Hold on, your prayers for rain will bring this to an end
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
It won't be long
Hold on
It won't be long
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Your prayers for rain will bring this to an end
I've been around the world
And the saddest thing I've seen
Is this lonely girl
