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
