  1. 2 of 4
    Spare me your judgments and spare me your dreams
    ‘Cause recently mine have been tearing my seams
    I sit alone in this winter clarity which clouds my mind
    Alone in the wind and the rain you left me
    It’s getting dark darling, too dark to see
    And I’m on my knees, and your faith in shreds, it seems

    Corrupted by the simple sniff of riches blown
    I know you have felt much more love than you’ve shown
    And I’m on my knees and the water creeps to my chest

    But plant your hope with good seeds
    Don’t cover yourself with thistle and weeds
    Rain down, rain down on me
    Look over your hills and be still
    The sky above us shoots to kill
    Rain down, rain down on me

    Oh I will hold on
    I will hold on hope
    Oh I will hold on
    I will hold on hope
    Oh I will hold on
    I will hold on hope
    I will hold on
    I will hold on hope
    I will hold on
    I will hold on

    I begged you to hear me, there’s more than flesh and bones
    Let the dead bury their dead, they will come out in droves
    But take the spade from my hands and fill in the holes you’ve made

    Plant your hope with good seeds
    Don’t cover yourself with thistle and weeds
    Rain down, rain down on me
