It used to be there were two sets of footprints in the sand

And there were two silhouettes in the sunset hand in hand

But now here beside the sea are the footprints of three

And I can't find my own

Among the directions they're all going



Baby it's alright

Break this chain of love and madness

It's alright

Take this rain as your new address

It's alright

Take this rain

It's alright

Take this rain



'cause I've been running all over creation out of my mind

Trying to keep our hearts beating together all of the time

Going crazier every day

Watching our love slipping away

'cause you're the only home I've ever wanted

And the only light I've known



But baby it's alright

Break this chain of love and madness

It's alright

Take this rain as your new address

It's alright

Take this rain

It's alright

Take this rain

You're going to be free



Some people go through life seeing just what they want to see

Take the way I went on believing

You might still believe in me

And I still want the love I always thought our love could be

But some things can't be changed

Take this rain



You're going to hear my voice in the morning calling your name

And know my love and my desperation were one and the same

And where our footprints used to be

There'll be nothing but the sea

And the tide and the wind and the open sky

And the unbroken horizon



Baby it's alright

Break this chain of love and madness

It's alright

Take this pain and all this sadness

It's alright

Make this rain into your fortress

It's alright

Take this rain

It's alright

Take this rain

It's alright

Take this rain

You're going to be free
