[Verse 1] When my day runs lean You come down my road Mud on your boots And a sack full of hope You don’t ask why You just set the chair Leave a plate by mine Like you knew I’d be there [Pre-Chorus] If the sky goes black You don’t back away You stay in the wind You stay where I stay [Chorus] You’re always there for me (there for me) You’re always there for me When my feet can’t stand You hold my hand You’re always there for me (there for me) [Verse 2] When my words come broke And my pocket’s bare You bring that calm Like the river air If I lose my way You light that trail Not with flames and noise Just a steady rail [Pre-Chorus] If the sky goes black You don’t back away You stay in the wind You stay where I stay [Chorus] You’re always there for me (there for me) You’re always there for me When my feet can’t stand You hold my hand You’re always there for me (there for me) [Bridge] I been bent and worn Like a fence in rain But you kept my name You kept it plain No grand big talk No polished show Just your quiet knock And a place to go [Final Chorus] You’re always there for me (there for me) You’re always there for me When my feet can’t stand You hold my hand You’re always there for me (there for me) You’re always there for me (there for me) You’re always there for me When my heart runs dry You stay nearby You’re always there for me (there for me)
