anywhere we are

into every life

a little rain must fall

or so they say

we have seen our share

of storms

you might agree

we learned early

don't hold tightly to the things that might not stay

love what matters

and you matter most to me

so when the wind blows in

and carries us away

this is what we say

to every hurricane

love don't need a roof

love don't need four walls

you can say my name

i'll come anytime you call

so let the storms roll in

let the shingles fly

love is not the fence we built around our lives

and anywhere we are

i'm alright

we dig cellars

we lay sandbags

board the glass and pack the old van

we heed warnings 'til we're headed out of town

but we do not always make it

we are sometimes overtaken

we are not as fast as every funnel cloud

so when the siren sounds and when we close our eyes

this is what we say to swirling skies

love don't need a roof

love don't need four walls

you can say my name

i'll come anytime you call

so let the storms roll in

let the shingles fly

love is not the fence we built around our lives

and anywhere we are

i'm alright

one day out in the meadow

i will stop where the old oak grows

i will lay some yellow flowers down for you

or maybe you will lay them down for me

and this is what we'll say to that old tree

love don't need a roof

love don't need four walls

you can say my name

i'll come anytime you call

so let the branches bend

dance into the wind

whisper every memory to the night

'cause anywhere we are

i'm alright
