Take This Rain Lyrics
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
This is a great song about moving on. (New address). Moving on from love, from madness, from pain. Baby it's alright to move on. Sometimes it's painful but the "wind, open sky, and unbroken horizon" lay ahead and "you're going to be free."
Great melody with some nice harmonies, also.
It seems that most of the songs from his album I'm Alive are all great! specially this one.
These songs on I’m alive are all interwoven. This is an album of loss and betrayal. Just as Two of Me and two of you, deals with betrayal, and being cheated on, so does this song.
There were two sets of footprints, two silhouettes, now here beside the sea are the footprints of three. Me, you, and the new guy. Two of me (me and the fool I’ve been) and the two of you (girlfriend and new beau)
These songs were written after Daryll Hannah left Jackson for JFK jr. I think in many of the songs he is speaking right to her as though she were in the room. A great album.
