Fire Beside Ya

I'll be your provider (provider)
rain or the shine.
Through the storm and the night,
long as you're mine.

I ain't got a mansion on a hill somewhere,
ain't got diamonds I could put in your hair.
But I got two hands and a working back,
got a lunchbox packed and a railway track.
When the light bill come I'll find a way,
when you're tired and worn I'll kneel and pray.
You won't go hungry, you won't go cold —
long as I'm breathing, that's the vow I hold.

Through the lean season and the empty cup,
I'll break my back before I give it up.
when the world leave and the road get wider,
I'll still be standing — your provider.

I'll be your provider, (provider)
shelter in the storm, fire beside ya.
When the cold wind blow through the door tonight,
I'll be your provider — hold you tight.

Provider. (long as you're mine)
Rain or shine. (till we rise)
Lay your head, girl, close your eyes.

I seen my father work his hands to bone
so his family never had to face it alone,
and I swore an oath on the day we met
that you'd never carry more than you can get.
So I'll take the double shift and the early train,
count the coins on the table in the window pane.
Whatever it cost and whatever it take —
that's a promise, love, I won't ever break.

when the world leave and the road get wider,
I'll still be standing — your provider.

I'll be your provider, (provider)
shelter in the storm, fire beside ya.
When the cold wind blow through the door tonight,
I'll be your provider — hold you tight.

My father patched the roof in the freezing rain,
empty pockets but he never once complained.
That's the love I learned and the love I give:
two rough working hands, long as I live.

(rain or the shine)
Whatever you need I'll go and find, (I'll find)
I'll leave no promise behind.

I'll be your provider, (provider)
shelter in the storm, fire beside ya.
Through the fever, the flood, the falling sky,
I'll be your provider till I die.

Rain or the shine, (provider)
long as you're mine.
