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)
