Take This Rain Lyrics

Cover art for Take This Rain lyrics by Jackson Browne

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.
