[Verse 1] I left the porch light on For your shoes by the door Salt on the banister Mud on the floor Your coat in the chair Still smells like rain I fold up the map And I say your name [Pre-Chorus] If the road bends back I’ll bend too If the sky goes black I’ll come through [Chorus] Against the gale I’m still here Against the gale I hold you near Against the gale I won’t break I lean in hard I take the weight [Verse 2] The laundry line shakes Like a warning sign Tomatoes on the sill Lean out of line The neighbor’s dog barks At the hissing sky I tie down the gate And I don’t ask why [Pre-Chorus] If the road bends back I’ll bend too If the sky goes black I’ll come through [Chorus] Against the gale I’m still here Against the gale I hold you near Against the gale I won’t break I lean in hard I take the weight [Bridge] Let it pull Let it roar I’ve been lost And I’ve learned more With your hand In my hand I can stand I can stand [Final Chorus] Against the gale I’m still here Against the gale I hold you near Against the gale I won’t break I lean in hard I take the weight Against the gale I’m still here Against the gale I hold you near
