Take Me Home

Take Me Home

1. Take Me Home

Take Me Home

(verse 1)

it's burned into my mind like a photograph, like a wild forest fire

the lies and tales that we could craft, they came from desire

my son, you have a right to know

your grandfather you're the image of head to toe

ahh, if you follow my directions to my worst creation

you'll find the eighth wonder of the world

the story the newspapers wanted unfurled

go past the dark of those deep woods

and take a shovel to dig under the blackberry patch

I'd come if I could

I guess old age has caught up to me

ahh, I want to be with your daddy

(chorus)

take me home

right now I'm tired, just take me home

let me meet you, God

I deserve judgement for my entire façade

bring me on home

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

my dreams have been so mysterious

it's ominous

grief makes a woman do things that she wouldn't

normally do because she shouldn't

this secret in particular

was supposed to follow me to my grave

ahh, it still seems so familiar

I never understood how he couldn't talk about it

it's like that night never happened and I admit

sometimes I question it myself

it happened way before your were born

but let me know it's to me that you're sworn

(chorus)

take me home

feeling more tired, just take me home

I never thought I'd be this old

when my unforgivable secret got told

(end chorus)

(chorus)

take me home

right now I'm tired, just take me home

let me meet you, God

I deserve judgement for my entire façade

bring me on home

take me home

feeling more tired, just take me home

I never thought I'd be this old

when my unforgivable secret got told

(end chorus)
