It's Alright

(album: Sister Sweetly - 1993)

You can turn back the tide
Of the cold tears from your eyes
The pangs of wounded pride you hold me

Did someone do you wrong, yeah
Good lovin's as good as gone, yeah
Maybe you ain't as strong as you wanna be

It's alright if you don't wanna go home
It's alright if you don't wanna be alone
It's alright if you don't wanna go home
I understand, I understand, I understand

Nothing stays if it's gotta go now
You can't get water from a stone now
Sometimes you gotta think about the things you're gonna love
You can point the finger at him
You can say you're suffering for a sin
Somehow a never was never was yet enough

It's alright if you don't wanna go home
It's alright if you don't wanna be alone
It's alright if you don't wanna go home
I understand, I understand, I understand

When the morning comes you get yourself together
To face another day
When the day is done and you ain't feeling good
You come walking my way

Now that you're doing alright
You're pretty much outta sight
I don't hear you knocking 'round my door anymore
I'm glad to hear you're doing well
But I know that time will tell
Only when you're broken down, is that what friends are for?

It's alright if you just wanna go home
It's alright if you just wanna be alone
It's alright if you just wanna go home
I understand, I understand, I understand
