It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back)

(album: Rarities - 2013)

It's alright, baby's coming back
And I don't really care where he's been
It's alright, baby's coming back
And I won't turn him around this time

I'll be your cliff
You can fall down from me
I'll be your ledge
You can lean upon me
I'll be your bridge
Your flowering tree
You can still depend on me

And I'll be the ticking of your clock
And I'll be the numbers on your watch
And I'll be your hands to stop the time
I'll even be your danger sign

It's alright, baby's coming back
And I don't really care where he's been
It's alright, baby's coming back
And I won't turn him around this time

And I'll be (your grace, your dignity)
And I'll be (your night, your destiny)
And I'll be (your comfort and your ease)
I will be your storm at seas
And I'll be (your sharp intake of breath)
And I'll be (your work, I'll take no rest)
And when the world falls to decline
I'll be yours and you'll be mine

It's alright, baby's coming back
And I don't really care where he's been
