Well we've all been through it, thinking times are tough

And I'll see you through it, when you've had enough

And I'll be beside you, many feelings the same

Give back the ruin, give back the rain



Well we've both felt lovely, things are going our way

May you rise above me, may you have your day

And I'll be proud of you, when I call out your name

Give back the ruin, give back the rain



And you know it's the only bridge I know that's still above water

I'm praying my insurance is gonna pay

And you know it's the only road I know that's still above water

I'm praying my family is gonna stay



Well we've both been better, or worse I suppose

And I got your letter, and I washed your clothes

And I'll be right with you, every step of the way

Give back the ruin, give back the rain

And I'll be proud of you, when I call out your name

Give back the ruin, give back the rain
