[Verse 1] Our shadows stretch across the walls We pass the gates as the evening falls I keep my hands in my worn coat sleeves And watch the frost settle over the leaves [Chorus] Hold fast, hold fast, the road runs down Past the last field, past the edge of town Hold fast, hold fast, when the cold winds turn We lose our way, but we carry on [Verse 2] The station clock has stopped at ten The platform's empty once again You say the train won't be long I watch the rails as the light is gone [Chorus] Hold fast, hold fast, the road runs down Past the last field, past the edge of town Hold fast, hold fast, when the cold winds turn We lose our way, but we carry on [Bridge] The years have changed the shape of home Some things we lose, some things we hold No grand promise, no bright sign Just your steady step beside mine [Chorus] Hold fast, hold fast, the road runs down Past the last field, past the edge of town Hold fast, hold fast, when the cold winds turn We lose our way, but we carry on [Outro] The road runs down The road runs down
