Verse 1 I turned forty in a cold December night With a worn-out coat and a heart that still fights I’ve seen some darkness, yeah, I’ve walked through pain But I still find beauty in the winter rain Got my old guitar, she knows my name Every scar I carry, she feels the same I play my truth on these rusted strings Still believing in better things Chorus I’m waiting in the winter rain For a love I’ve never known Through the fire and the pain Still I’m standing on my own Yeah, I’m broken, but I believe There’s a light for me somewhere So, I sing into the cold night air… Like she’s already there Verse 2 I walk alone down these empty streets With frozen tears and a steady beat People pass me, but they don’t see The hopeful man I still choose to be I’ve lost some battles, I won’t deny Watched a few dreams slowly die But there’s a fire they couldn’t take Still burning with every breath, I make Chorus I’m waiting in the winter rain For a love I’ve never known Through the fire and the pain Still I’m standing on my own Yeah, I’m broken, but I believe There’s a light for me somewhere So, I sing into the cold night air… Like she’s already there Verse 3 Somewhere out there, she feels it too A lonely heart, honest and true Maybe she’s looking at the same gray sky Wondering who, and wondering why And when the day finally comes around I’ll lay my guitar and my burdens down Till then I’ll play, I won’t let go Through the wind, through the cold, through the snow Chorus (repeat) I’m waiting in the winter rain For a love I’ve never known Through the fire and the pain Still I’m standing on my own Yeah, I’m broken, but I believe There’s a light for me somewhere So, I sing into the cold night air… Like she’s already there
