lyrics

Boots in the puddle by the bus stop wall

Nine-fifteen on the screen, I let you call

Your coat got soaked by the Co-op sign

I said, “Go on in,” but you stayed in line

Hands on the rail, you shook the cold away

You laughed, “I’m fine,” but I heard you say

I’ll wait right here, let the others go first

By the dripping curb, you took the worst

Hold the door, hold the door

Hold the door, hold the door

You stood in the rain for me

You stood in the rain for me

Hold the door, hold the door

Taxi splash on the corner by the chippy light

Wet hair on your brow, and your trainers white

I saw your name on the fog of the glass

You stayed outside till the last car passed

I had the key and I turned it slow

You nodded once, said, “You can go”

But you kept your place by the iron gate

Like you knew my heart could wait

Hold the door, hold the door

Hold the door, hold the door

You stood in the rain for me

You stood in the rain for me

Hold the door, hold the door

When the world got loud and the night ran thin

You were out there while I went in

Now every drop on the pavement sings

Of the first small thing that kindness brings

Hold the door, hold the door

Hold the door, hold the door

You stood in the rain for me

You stood in the rain for me

Hold the door, hold the door
