[Verse 1]
Into every life
A little rain must fall, or so they say
We have seen our share
Of storms, you might agree
[Verse 2]
We learned early
Don't hold tightly to the things that might not stay
Love what matters
And you matter most to me
[Verse 3]
So when the wind blows in
And carries us away
This is what we say
To every hurricane
[Chorus]
Love don't need a roof
Love don't need four walls
You can say my name
I'll come anytime you call
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
We dig cellars, we lay sandbags
Board the glass and pack the old van
We heed warnings 'til we're headed out of town
[Verse 5]
But we do not always make it
We are sometimes overtaken
We are not as fast as every funnel cloud
[Verse 6]
So when the siren sounds and when we close our eyes
This is what we say to swirling skies
[Chorus]
Love don't need a roof
Love don't need four walls
You can say my name
I'll come anytime you call
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Chorus]
Love don't need a roof
Love don't need four walls
You can say my name
I'll come anytime you call
[Verse 8]
So let the branches bend
Dance into the wind
Whisper every memory to the night
'Cause anywhere we are, I'm alright
