Lyrics
[Verse 1] You came in quiet Rain on your sleeves Left your boots by the mat And your hurt with me I saw the shake In your hands at the sink So I made us both tea And let the house think [Pre-Chorus] We don't have to talk fast We don't have to be brave Just stay where you are Let the night misbehave [Chorus] Hold on to me Hold on to me When the hard wind comes Hold on to me Hold on to me Hold on to me I can be your porch I can be your light [Verse 2] I know that look When the world gets loud When the floor falls out And you're staring down So I moved the chair Right next to yours Kept the front door shut Kept the dog off the floor [Pre-Chorus] We don't need a map We don't need a plan Just your tired heart In my open hand [Chorus] Hold on to me Hold on to me When the hard wind comes Hold on to me Hold on to me Hold on to me I can be your porch I can be your light [Bridge] If the night runs long I'll stay awake If your voice goes thin I'll carry the weight You don't have to win You don't have to run I'll be here, love Till the hurt is done [Chorus] Hold on to me Hold on to me When the hard wind comes Hold on to me Hold on to me Hold on to me I can be your porch I can be your light
