[Intro: Simon Le Bon]
Hold back the rain

[Verse 1: Simon Le Bon]
Yes, we're miles away from nowhere
And the wind doesn't have a name
So call it what you want to call it
Still blows down the lane

[Chorus: Simon Le Bon]
And if the fires burn out there's only fire to blame
Hold back the rain
No time for worry cause we're on the roam again
Hold back the rain
The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane
Hold back the rain
Not on your own so help me, please, hold back the rain

[Verse 2: Simon Le Bon]
Okay, go off and wander
I'm guilty just the same
Sometimes you're needed badly
So please come back again

[Chorus: Simon Le Bon]
And if the fires burn out there's only fire to blame
Hold back the rain
No time for worry cause we're on the roam again
Hold back the rain
The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane
Hold back the rain
Not on your own so help me, please, hold back the rain
[Post-Chorus: Simon Le Bon]
Hold back the rain, hold back the rain, hold back the rain
Hold back the rain

[Bridge: Simon Le Bon]
Hey, hey, hold back the rain
Help me, please, please, please, help me
Hold back the rain
Help me, hold back the rain
Hold, hold back the rain
Hold, hold back the rain

[Chorus: Simon Le Bon]
And if the fires burn out there's only fire to blame
Hold back the rain
No time for worry cause we're on the roam again
Hold back the rain
The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane
Hold back the rain
Not on your own so help me, please, hold back the rain

[Post-Chorus: Simon Le Bon]
Hold back the rain
Hold back the rain, hold back the rain
Hold back the rain, hold back the rain, hold back the rain
