I've told myself, so many times
Not to turn into the type, but I've found
Is it too late, has my time come?
Sometimes I think I'm losing it
Am I the only one?
Understandin', more like demanding
Where do the grey skies end?
Should I stay or fly away?
The wings that I begin to grow
Will surely let me know
How far I have to go
And I'll be there
Oh yet again, thought I was right
But as usual I end up on the wrong side of the fence
Is it too late, has my time come?
Sometimes I think I'm losin' it
Am I the only one?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
no
no
no.
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'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.
I'll be - your cliff
you can fall down from me
. ..
It's alright - baby's coming back
And I won't turn him around this time.
It's alright - baby's coming back
. . .
It's alright - baby's coming back
. . .
