"Strong As Iron" lyrics

There's empty in your eyes, my love
Seen it for a while now
I know that you tried, my love
I'd keep you but I don't know how

I could fight this losing fight
But if you give up, then so will I

Sometimes a fire burns out
Sometimes a well runs dry
Sometimes a trail goes cold
Deep in the dead of the night
'Cause I'm holding on with all of my might
You're standing here, been gone a long time
Left in the rain and left in the mud
Love strong as iron's still gonna rust

Gray December skies, my love
Are crying on the cold ground
It's really got the best of us
You've seen the worst of me now

Started in a blaze now we're flickering
Talking to you now, are you listening?
I'm looking for the why but I'm missing it, oh

Sometimes a fire burns out
Sometimes a well runs dry
Sometimes a trail goes cold
Deep in the dead of the night
'Cause I'm holding on with all of my might
You're standing here, been gone a long time
Left in the rain and left in the mud
Love strong as iron's still gonna rust

Sometimes a fire burns out
Sometimes a well runs dry
Sometimes a trail goes cold
Deep in the dead of the night
I've been holding on with all of my might
You're standing here, been gone a long time
Left in the rain, left in the mud
Love strong as iron's still gonna rust
