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
