Max McNown - Strong As Iron

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Sometimes a fire burns out
Sometimes a well runs dry
Sometimes a trail goes cold
Deep in the dead of 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

[Verse 2]
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


[Chorus]
Sometimes a fire burns out
Sometimes a well runs dry
Sometimes a trail goes cold
Deep in the dead of 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

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Sometimes a fire burns out
Sometimes a well runs dry
Sometimes a trail goes cold
Deep in the dead of night
I've been 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
