Yeah, hold on

Sometimes there are things

You can only tell a stranger

And we all have our demons

That's something I know about

And you remember the first time

you saw her

Her hair was more than blonde, man

it was white

And you remember the smell

of her sweet perfume

And the sounds from the engines

And the tail lights

As she pulled out of sight

Oh, you try to hold on

When something is gone away

for good

Out in the rain

How can you face the night again?

Her voice is calling to you

Pulling you close to the flame

Never surrender

when you can hold on

Places where no one

remembers your name

And your living on the edge

Close to the flame

And you're standing on the side of the road, man

And I mean you're watching

the cars pass you by

Just wondering where they're going

Ooh-ooh, yeah, fighting the feeling

And you're living out in the street man

And I mean there's nothing

over your head

but the sky

And the rain comes down

and slaps you up

And slaps you on the face

You try to be strong

When something is gone away

for good

Out in the rain,

How can you face the night again?

Her voice is calling to you

Pulling you close to the flame

Never surrender when you can hold on

Places where no one remembers you name

And your living on the edge

Close to the flame
