(CN.C.)Spare me your judge ments and spare me your dreams, ’cause re cent ly mine have been tear ing my seams. I sit a lone in this win ter clar i ty which clouds my (D5)mind. A (CN.C.)lone in the wind and the rain you left me. It’s get ting dark, dar ling, too dark to see. And I’m on my knees, and your faith in shreds, it seems. Cor (CN.C.)rupt ed by the sim ple sniff of rich es blown. I know you have felt much more love that you’ve shown. And I’m on my knees and the wa ter creeps to my (Dm)chest. (D5)Plant ver your hope with (Dm)good seeds. Don’t (Dsus2)cov er your (D5)self with (Dm)this tle and weeds. (Gm)Rain down, rain (Dm)down on me. Look (D5)o ver your hills and (Dm)be still. The (Dsus2)sky er a (D5)bove us (Dm)shoots tle to kill. (Gm)Rain down, rain (Dm)down on me. Look And (Dm)I will hold on. I will hold on (Bb5)hope. Oh, (Dm)I will hold on. I will hold on (Bb5)hope.
