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
. . .
