The January rain drapes the sky in grey And hides away the sun And the pattering can be maddening But I’ll wait until it’s done For I can’t chase the clouds away And I can’t stop the falling rain It’s out of my hands, it’s out of my hands There’s nothing that I can do And sometimes I know that life doesn’t go The way that I want it to
On your gentle face there’s a subtle change A light has left your eyes Something’s buried deep, that I’ll never reach A flame I can’t ignite
And it’s a sweet illusion to feel in control But the bitter truth is I’ll never know
It’s out of my hands, it’s out of my hands There’s nothing that I can do And sometimes I know that life doesn’t go The way that I want it to
And if you never want me the way that I want you It’s out of my hands, it’s out of my hands There’s nothing that I can do And sometimes I know that life doesn’t go The way that I want it to
And if you take your love away and run To someone new Nothing I can do It’s out of my hands So it doesn’t matter when or whether We will ever be together When there’s nothing else that I can do
