about

This perkily dark tune is considered the oldest of The R&T collection... unless you count the endless melodies and words that were lost in the memory's fire. Prophetic and historical, It's Alright is the distant hope in the present time.

lyrics

We're gonna leave this behind,
Two birds sitting on a telephone line--
The house was creaking under cloudless skies.
It's Alright.

On those rainy days,
Falling swallows in your oil paints--
I guess our fights never die the same way.
It's Alright.

Don't take down your Christmas lights--
I see them shining (I see them shining!)
You left behind what you would recognize
And I saw you laughing through the hardest times.

We're gonna leave this someday--
Barbed wire bent to form our getaway,
Our flashlights bending toward the breaking day.
It's Alright.
