Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Is it yours? Is it mine?
I was never the kind who could draw the line
Are you free? Unforgiven?
Is this the kind of world you could live in?
[Chorus]
But it's alright, the light is on
The darkness has run to hide
It's alright, the light is on
But the darkness is just outside
[Verse 2]
Outside your window, beating down
Making the sound of the rain
Drive you crazy, make you lazy
You know it's only the rain
[Chorus]
But it's alright, the light is on
The darkness has run to hide
It's alright, the light is on
But the darkness is just outside
[Verse 3]
Is it yours? Is it mine?
I was never the kind who could draw the line
Are you free? Unforgiven?
Is this the kind of world you could live in?
[Chorus]
It's alright, the light is on
The darkness has run to hide
It's alright, the light is on
The darkness is just outside
[Outro]
Yeah, but it's alright, the light is on
The darkness has run to hide
It's alright, the light is on
The darkness is just outside
Outside your window
