Soft Place to Land Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know you're out there, out in that weather
It's raining sideways, a hard rain
Keeping your head down, buried in your collar
You press into the headwind 'cause there's work to be done

[Pre-Chorus 1]
If she don't cling to you
If she don't tend to you
And give you respite from your worries
And the wind that's blowing through

[Chorus]
If you're looking for a soft place to land
The calm of a steady hand, an unconditional friend
If you need to take a moment to catch your breath
Come in before you catch your death
You don't have to pass a test to come home

[Verse 2]
Your faithful pony whose legs have broken
Now leaves you stranded on the high plane
When the gunshot echoes, your heart despairing
You pack up all you can carry 'cause there's work to be done

[Pre-Chorus 2]
If she don't pray to you
And run her fingers through
I vow to always leave the light on
She don't bend to you
And she don't bow down to
And put her shoulder to the burden
That is weighing down on you
[Chorus]
If you're looking for a soft place to land
The calm of a steady hand, an unconditional friend
If you need to take a moment to catch your breath
Come in before you catch your death
You don't have to pass a test to come

[Chorus]
Soft place to land
The calm of a steady hand, an unconditional friend
If you need to take a moment to catch your breath
Come in before you catch your death
You don't have to pass a test to come

[Outro]
Soft place to land
Soft place
Mmm, soft place to land
Soft place
Mmm, soft place to land
Soft place
Mmm, soft place to land
Soft place
Mmm

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
