Take me home,
Take me in,
Kiss away where I've been . . .
Take me home,
Take me there,
Make me safe, make me warm,
Make me stay, make me care . . .
Be my long journey's end,
Be my lover,
My friend . . .
Take my word,
I'll be true,
Take my hand,
Take me home, with you!
The river runs to find the sea,
A swallow flies from tree to tree,
A pebble rolls from door to door,
Until the day it finds,
That it can roll no more!
Take me home,
Take me in,
Kiss away where I've been . . .
Take my word,
I'll be true,
Take my hand,
Take me home, with you!
Take me home I don't wanna roam no more
Well I've been from Boston to LA seen Boulder Dam and Frisco Bay
I been to New York City and Washington
Montreal and Saskatchewan (and Rhode Island)
And I've worked in three all night service stations and drove a truck
Take me home my heart is heavy and my feet are sore
Take me home I don't wanna roam no more
[ banjo ]
Well I've slept all night in a water trough
Had the flu and the croup and the whoopin' cough
I had the mumps and the measles and the seven years itch
And I can't count the times that I've had a cold (and a sore throat)
Not to mention all the times that I've cut my fingers on a sardine can
Take me home...
[ banjo ]
Well I can just see 'em all gatherin' round
Mama's supper table as the sun goes down
And my dear old daddy when the blessing is said
Fillin' up his plate with black eyed peas (and side meat)
And a great big hunk of my dear sweet mama's hot buttered cornbread
Take me home...
you know the irony of life is that you have like
this big dream to get where you wanna be
but once you get there you start to dream about where you came from.
I guess that's the part of the circle of our lives
like the hands of a clock going round.
if only we could wind them back and return to a time where the dream began.
it's all too soon that's all will be is a dream in someones mind.
Look at me I'm famous on top of the world,
I finally reached the big time (I'm a superstar)
stand up, step back and take a look
is this really what I had in mind? (i don't really think so)
I guessed them goals that we set in the day,
they actually came to be. (yup yup)
but now I'm looking at a blank white paper,
and with a whole book of memories (but we never read)
seven deep in the jeep with the camo top,
everybody and they drunk as hell,
?? and awesome dre and anybody by the right would see us
(cause we always went there)
songs were long and pollution strong, and the faygo always warm and flat
(thats nasty)
but if now if this supposed to be heaven for me, then just give me my old hell back
so take me home
(to my empty refrigerator)
c'mon and take me home
(to a life in which I understand)
so take me home
(to my old school down in delray)
c'mon and take me home
for what little time i have left
(c'mon c'mon) let's go yall
there's another festival down town,
take some bottles back up to the store
(i found two of 'em)
that would get us bus money down there
to get back we have to find some more
(might as well get drunk)
hanging our flyers up everywhere,
we coulda sworn we was making noise,
(everybody knew us)
finally we had everyone in southwest
representing with the jj boys (everybody)
I stole to eat (i stole)
I stole to live (i stole)
I stole only to survive (if yous a hoodlum)
just like j said in 'ghetto zone' I stole a car with my tape inside
all we did was try to talk to hoes,
and none of them was trying to hear (not 1 hoe)
it woulda meant so much more back then
cause now its fake hoes everywhere
so take me home
(to my empty refrigerator)
c'mon and take me home
(to a life in which I understand) (where you at yall?)
so take me home
(to my old school down in delray) (summer time)
c'mon and take me home (delray)

and I still have to drop my crew off (but I'll be back)
now I'm alone and on top of it all,
looking deep in the back of my mind (looking deep in the back of my mind)
I realised the key to a happy life

Take me home take me home cause I'm homesick and I'm helpless on my won
Can't you see I'm out of place and ashamed to show my face
Please forgive me come and get me take me home
Take me home...
Well I've been from Boston to LA seen Boulder Dam and Frisco Bay
Into New York City and Washington
Seen Montreal and Saskatchewan and Rhode Island
And I've worked in three all night service stations and drove a truck
Take me home my heart is heavy and my feet are sore
Take me home I don't wanna roam no more
Well I slept all night in a water trough
Had the flu and the croup and the whoopin' cough
Had the mumps and the measles and the seven years itch
And I can't count the times that I've had a cold and sore throat
Not to mention all the times that I've cut my fingers on a sardine can
Take me home...
Well I can just see 'em all now just a gatherin' round
Mama's supper table when the sun goes down
And my good old pappy when the blessing is said
Fillin' up his plate with black eyed peas and side meat
And a great big hunk of my dear sweet mama's hot buttered cornbread
Take me home...

Take me home...
Take me home...
Now I'm here all alone
Takin' care of my own
Down in no man's land
Got no friend, got no dime
Only plenty of time
Where's the saving hand?
I got that feeling to need
More and more attention
That is the fever, don't leave me alone
I got that feeling to make
More than conversation
That is the fever,
Where's my home?
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
It's not true what you see
Behind that mask that's not me
Try to reach my world
Can't you see I'm so blind
Stay with me to change my mind
No more nightmares, girl
I got that feeling to need more
And more attention
That is the fever, don't leave me alone
I got that feeling to make more
Than conversation
That is the fever, where's my home?
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
I got that feeling to need more
And more attention
That is the fever, don't leave me alone
I got that feeling to make more
Than conversation
That is the fever,
Where's my home?
Take me home
Take me home
Maybe we're standing on the threshold
With our eyes open wide
Let the river keep on flowing
We can reach the other side
Caught in this endless revolution
Under helicopter skies
To lose becomes unthinkable
And to win is the only road now
There's a bridge over the water
I can see it like a rainbow
If you love me I'll be waiting
Take me home to the other side
All the men and all the women
Who sacrifice their love
Never taste what we took for granted
No they don't know love at all
Some of them broken some of them wounded
And so cynical from the pain
I was quiet as a grave yard
Till you heard me caling out your name
There's a bridge over the water
I can see it like a rainbow
If you love me I'll be waiting
Take me home to the other side
Life was victorious
Now it can't be denied
We'll stand together
Cause love is on our side
There's a bridge over the water
I can see it like a rainbow
If you love me I'll be waiting
In here the lights are dim but all around
My eyes see things they wish that they never even found
Your party's gettin' rough and this party's seen enough
To know that I had best be homeward bound
Take me home please take me home I'm not your kind of girl
Take me home please take me home I don't belong here in your world
It hits my mind like water in the face
The kind of girl you thought I was ti bring me to this place
I guess I'm just naive but somehow I believe
There's more to life than living in disgrace
Take me home...
I don't belong here in your world
Take that look of worry
I'm an ordinary man
They don't tell me nothin'
So I find out all I can
There's a fire that's been burnin'
Right outside my door
I can't see but I feel it
And it helps to keep me warm
So I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
Seems so long I've been waitin'
Still don't know what for
There's no point escaping
I don't worry anymore
I can't come out to find you
I don't like to go outside
They can't turn off my feelings
Like they're turnin' off the light
But I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
Oh I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
So take, take me home
('Cos I don't remember)
Take, take me home
('Cos I don't remember)
Take, take me home
('Cos I don't remember)
Take, take me home
(Oh Lord)
'Cos I've been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you
(Ohh ohh)
Take that look of worry
Mine's an ordinary life
(Ohh ohh)
Working when it's daylight
And sleeping when it's night
(Ohh ohh)
I've got no far horizons
I don't wish upon a star
(Ohh ohh)
They don't think that I listen
(Ohh ohh)
Oh but I know who they are
(Ohh ohh)
And I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
Oh I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
So take, take me home
('Cos I don't remember)
Take, take me home
('Cos I don't remember)
Take, take me home
('Cos I don't remember)
Take, take me home
(Oh Lord)
Well I've been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you
But I don't remember
(Take, take me home)
'Cos I don't remember
(Take, take me home)
'Cos I don't remember
(Take, take me home)
'Cos I don't remember
(Take, take me home)
'Cos I don't remember
(Take, take me home)
'Cos I don't remember
(Take, take me home)
'Cos I don't remember
(Take, take me home)
'Cos I don't remember
(Take, take me home)
'Cos I don't remember

Forty days of living hell
Force nine gale, broken sail
What a story I could tell
Forty days of ocean roar
Now two nights to kill on shore
Stars fall, girls call, take me home
Walking through this empty town
Cuts me up and brings me down
I'm shipwrecked on my own
Passing cars striptease bars
And I'm drinking all alone
Lost dreams, gull screams, take me home
But this machine inside my head
Remembers every word she said
But this machine inside my head
Is telling me this dream is dead
And leaves me drifting high and dry
Read light beauty calls me in
Smoky haze, shifty gaze
And the dead night smells of gin
As rage and emptiness collide
Just feel a burning deep inside
Waves growl, winds howl, take me home
Someone please now rescue me
From the chains of the sea
I'm drifting endlessly
Someone please set me free
Just have little patients, here's how the story goes
I'll tell ya little something, that's all you need to know
Now's the time for me, I gotta get away
I wish ya coulda stayed, I'll find another way
Please, take me home
Just were I aught to be
No questions known
If you leave me now, a warm embrace
No one here will ever take my place
Another little secret, I thought you need to know
Your always in my heart, your always in my soul
Now's the time for me, I gotta make ya free
And how I need ya so, just thought I'd let you know
Please, take me home
Just were I aught to be
No questions known
If you leave me now, a warm embrace
No one here will ever take my place
NOW's the time, to hold you close
To live your dreams and never let you go
You take me home
You take me home
YEAH!
Take me home
TAKE ME!
LEAD
Please, take me home
Just were I aught to be
No questions known
Please, take me home
Please, take me home
Just were I aught to be
No questions known
If you leave me now, a warm embrace
No one here will ever take my place
NOW's the time, to hold you close
It’s late
Come on
I’m tired
But I don’t want to sleep
Tonight
I want
Your body close to mine
I won’t need to say “I love you”
You’ll know, you’ll know
There’s no need to say “I want you”
You’ll know
Take me home
Don’t wanna spend the night without you
Take me home
All I do is dream about you
Take me home
Take me home
Your kiss
Your touch
Your hands
I long to feel the rush
Your skin is,
Right now,
It’s all I’m thinking of
I won’t need to say “I love you”
You’ll know, you’ll know
There’s no need to say “I want you”
Take me home
Don’t wanna spend the night without you
Take me home
All I do is dream about you
Please let go
Take me in your arms and say you’ll
Take me home
Take me home
Don’t make me pick,
Don’t make me pick you
I won’t need to say “I love you”
You’ll know
Wa-ah
Wa-ah
Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
It’s late
Come on
I’m tired
There's no place I call height (aaah)
There's no way in a mean street (aaah)
There's no happy medium (aaah)
There's no in between (aaah)
So do your searching, until you're down (aaah)
Then realise, you're on home ground (aaah)
Sittin' in a white room dreaming of a life
You have got me thinking, what is paradise?
Should I take an ocean drive
Coolin' from the sun
Silver screen got me thinkin'
This is how it should be done
Take me home (aaah)
There's no place I'd rather be now, yeah (aaah)
Take me home (aaah)
There's no place I'd rather be now, yeah (aaah)
Stand together alone, not knowing who you are
Friendly strangely, strangely friendly
Would you keep me warm?
Would you keep me warm?
You know, you can be your paradise
A heart to keep me warm
You can have your own dream life
Step into your comfort zone
Comfort zone
Take me home (aaah)
There's no place I'd rather be now, yeah (aaah)
Take me home (aaah)
There's no place I'd rather be now, yeah (aaah)
Aint nobody to take me home
cause I'm here, yes where I belong
I'm on leave cause I'm on my way, but my home
It will always stay
Aint nobody to take me home
cause I'm here, yes where I belong
I'm on leave cause I'm on my way, but my home
It will always stay
Aint nobody to take me home
Cause I'm here, yes where I belong
I'm on leave cause I'm on my way, but my home
It will always stay
[repeat]
So it's all just free falling falls
Huh, out of time
You've got yours, I've got mine
Should all this be so precious
Maybe I should be a little humble
Slate to fear, cause I could stumble
So do your searching until you're down
Cause you're on home ground
Take me home (aaah)
(take, take, take, take me home, take, take take me home)
There's no place I'd rather be now, yeah (aaah)
Take me home, (aaah)
(take, take, take, take me home, take, take take me home)
There's no place I'd rather be now, yeah (aaah)
The light's going down,I'm lonely again
Between all the voices around me
Staring at you,I just try to catch
One single smile or one look.
Won't you take me in your arms
Won't you make this day a perfect one
Won't you hold me when the cold wind blows
Won't you take me home.
Dreams,I know they'll come true
I want to share them with you
So many eyes,that I have to feed
But the one pair I need's out of reach.
Won't you take me in your arms
Won't you make this day a perfect one
Won't you hold me when the cold wind blows
Won't you take me home.

(Brewster-Neeson-Brewster-Throckman)
I've thinking of far out places, trying to find a cool oasis,
get away from living in the streets,
where dirty money is the game, the dealer never knows your name,
people marching to the same old beat.
The street's alive with pretty girls, who take you all around the
world, if you've got enough to pay the price,
neon lights, they beckon you, come and see what we can do,
watch a colour movie, ain't it nice?
(Chorus)
Oh won't you please just let me use your telephone,
I've had enough I want to take a taxi home,
Take me from the heat, take me from this city streets
Take me, take me home -- take me home.
I've been walking these streets at night, hoping I don't get in a
fight, doing what I did the night before,
hanging `round the alley way, wandering down by the bay,
watching drunken sailors trying to score.
I could tell just be sitting downstairs
I had you in the palm of my hand
You could see that I didn't wanna stay
Knew I wanted lovin' like a man
I could feel your hands perspiring
You could see my temperature rising
(Chorus)
Take me home and we can dance all night
Shake me baby - makes me feel alright
Gimme some loving - till the broad day light
Take me home and we can dance all - dance all night
I could tell it was gettin' kinda late
Couldn't wait to get you all alone
You could see that I didn't wanna wait
I can't wait for you to take me home
Come together perfect timing
This could all be so exciting
(Chorus)
When I touch you set my hands on fire
But I just can't keep my eyes off you
You're the one that fills me with desire
I'll do anything you want me to
I'll do anything you want me to
Don't think twice if the devil's gonna take
you home tonight
You feel so fine and I'll soon be makin'
love to you
I still believe in a perfume garden
You get me beatin' something startin'
[Chorus:]
And I promise if I take you home, I'll sing you a song
Never leave me alone
Said c'mon baby throw me a bone, I'll sing you a song
Never leave me alone, and I promise if you take me home, I'll sing you a song
Never leave me alone
Said c'mon baby throw me a bone, I'll sing you a song, never leave you alone
I'm a tell you something about me
That's my favourite subject, I don't know whether you picked up on that yet or not
[Verse 1:]
I never said I had a business mind
I just don't believe that quitting time exists, ain't no finish line to this
You got to give me mine, I really shine, my given time is this
Live and die by the grind driven by the fist
Where do you place my name if I never played your game
We don't race the same, I don't run inside no painted lane
Plus ya'll pace is strange, ya'll either stop or you sprint
Run if it's sunny and hide if it change to rain
I would be half the Ali that I am
If I slowed myself up and tried competing with these people fam
I'm every bit as unconcerned as they are unprepared
Market flooded needles to say I wasn't scared
Let's all drop they same day, I don't fuckin care
Put listening stations in the store and let the public hear
Better yet, let's have an instore performance
Make it oranges to oranges, me dwarfing your indurance
After that we'll shoot the shit with our supporters
And see how many more discs of yours the Indy stores order
Shit you already knew I out rap em'
On the low we out work, out think, and out class em'
[Chorus]
Nobody's doing this thing exactly like we do
They do it, they just ain't doing it like us, you know what I'm sayin'
Sucker ass mother fuckers
[Verse 2:]
My personal pedigree's so bonafide
Cause a man of my stature ain't born overnight
The undisputed king of where poor folks reside
Because everytime I speak it be hope vocalised
And you sit and bitch with your chickens about it isn't fair
The sound system ain't shit but I was crystal clear
We first name basis, sound men - we give em' beer
Plus I tipped em' 50 last semester when the click was here
Listen here, I ain't gonna give you all my secrets
Just these few examples help me illustrate my pretense
Our strength is unrelated to your weakness
Cause you'll never be a worthy pool of peers to be competed with
I see my shit with Son House and Syl Johnson
And always loose, I done lost face too but I'm sporting their shoes
So let me remind you, them little kicks you trying to fit, we out grew
Them shits in high school man
[Chorus]
I don't think I'm arrogant man, I think I just
You know, I do's what the fuck I does man if that's just...
Kiss my ass for all I care
[Verse 3:]
It's of foremost importance there is none like unto the brother
Out this mother fucker regardless
So stop all the nonsense, you seem me lounging - call the Rhymesayers office
I've officially lost it
They say my reputation precedes me
I don't know the meaning of off season, I ain't taking it easy
Ain't taking a day off, never had an off night
Never been laid off, I live on the job site
It all pays off though when I squint in the spotlight
And see your lips are moving to the true shit that I write
And we gon' be alright every night of my life
It's my night cause I view the future like it's hindsight
I ain't waiting, I'm patiently persevering
I see greatness in the person in the mirror very clearly
And that's why I take this seriously
Baby come near to me and truly, truly hear me
Close your eyes and surrender
The peace is there within yourself
Realize, you are not alone
So close and yet so far
One day we shall be there again
Be there again
Take me home
Look into the haze
Feel the things you cannot see
They hold the meanings
Of all that you will ever be
Stand back
Surrond yourself with light
Fight on
Ignore all the screams within the night
Never, never stop
Take me home
Intuition shall be your guide
For time does not exist
It's all so easily
In the end you will insist
Stand back
Surrond yourself with light
Fight on
Ignore all the screams within the night
Never, never stop
Take me home
We will be free after
We simply see after
We reach thru to the other side
Take me home
Look into your mind
There's a place you can not see
It has the answers
To all that will ever be
Stand back
Surrond yourself with light
Fight on
Ignore all the screams within the night
Never, never stop
Take me home
So close and yet so far
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home for the ride
I won't be alone
Take me home for the ride
You won't be alone
We won't be alone tonight
I am standing in the shadows of the garden
Confessing to the pale moon above
If I tell you how I feel
You might harden
I'm scared of being lonely
And of dying without love
Take me home for the ride
I won't cry alone
Take me home for the ride
You won't cry alone
We won't cry alone tonight
I need everything I know you could provide me
But every time I love the flower dies
There's a darkness in the air
That seems to guide me
If you want to see the heartache
You can look into my eyes
Take me home for the ride
I won't die alone
Take me home for the ride
You won't die alone
We won't die alone tonight
Sometimes our emotions make it hard
For us to see that
At the heart of loving is respect and honesty
And sometimes I'm afraid that I give
Less than I should give
But this time I will hold you
For as long as I live
I won't die alone
You won't die alone
We won't die alone tonight
(feat. Butch Cassidy, Tha Eastsidaz, Dr. Dre)
[BEEP]
[Dr. Dre]
Ay ay Snoop whattup This your nigga Dre
Ay man I was thinkin I ain't said shit on your whole motherfuckin album
So check it out, put this on there:
All you motherfuckin haters out there, can suck my motherfuckin dick!
And we still smokin, what!
[Chorus: Nate Dogg]
For the nigga who be talkin loud and holdin his dick
Talkin shit, he better LAY LOW
For the bitch that said I shot some shit up out of my dick
Now she sick, she better LAY LOW
For the niggaz who be claimin my hood
and really ain't from my gang, better LAY LOW
I hope he don't be thinkin I'm just talkin
and I won't do a thing, really HOPE SO!
[Snoop Dogg]
Hmm, lay low, nobody move until I say so
Limo tint rollin deep like the President
See I don't go to clubs, I never chase a bitch (beitch)
I'm here to bang that gangsta shit to the apocalypse
We call it stress, some of y'all call it chocolate
Return of the Top Dogg, and ain't no stoppin this
Whatever the case, I ain't tryin to catch it
Lay low, blow big dope, and slang records
Unseen but well heard, do not disturb
The only reason you alive cause I ain't sent the word
I flip, faster than birds, Snoop Dogg will emerge
from the smoke and go loc, you shouldn't provoke
I bring the worst from the L.B.C.
Smash motherfuckers thinkin they gon' smash on me
Snoop and Dre give a FUCK about what y'all say
From the 'World's Most Dangerous Group' - N.W.A
Ay, ay
[Butch Cassidy]
Our rise, it was no surprise
I always knew these fools would trip
Hatin, fakin, schemin on mine
and on the down low talkin shit
Best move cause I refuse to lose
no matter which damn road I choose
So lay low cause you might be bruised
Top story on the evening news
I ain't for games, so if you wanna play 'em lay low
Lay down on the floor
I'm in a rage, so if we gotta do this let me know
That's what I came fo'
[Goldie Loc - Eastsidaz]
Where that nigga who be talkin shit
He don't come around no more because I fucked his bitch
I made her suck my dick, while I was squeezin the tits
Then I hit it from the back, gripped tight on them hips
She tried to make me cum, but I was tryin to take her home
Dropped you off and seen you fishin on your raggedy Brougham
Coulda thumped you and the dog (you little fag)
And don't sag too hard, you show everybody your thong
[Tray Deee - Eastsidaz]
Booyaka booyaka, we bring it straight to ya
From 22's to Luger's the shit that shoot through ya
Who you motherfuckers think the Top Dogg bang with
The same click he came with and made the game flip
Now niggaz grow they hair, hope they stayin act hard
That's even tho' yo' CEO talk shit get slapped hard
The backyard is where we get our scrap on
The black car drive by then you get capped on
[Master P]
Whassup pimpin It's P and Snoop
With Dre on the beat, this ain't nuttin but loot
They call me Jackhammer for all the bread I got
but they call me Bill Clinton for all the head I got
I keeps it real-ah, cause I'm all about my scrilla
The ladies love me cause I'm a million dolla hitta
It's, No Limit til I D-I-E
C-P-3, or Richmond, Cali's where I be
[Chorus]
Woke up again just to start another day.
Hopped on my skate and skated to the circle k.
I'm on the road, and I know I won't be going home today
I guess I'll have to stay
Well, it's been twelve years of playing and there's not one do I regret
We broke the camels back and paid our dues in blood and sweat.
I've seen the sunrise, seen it rain, and also watched it set.
Still by far this place sucks the most, the worst that I've seen yet.
Take Me Home!
Stuck on the road!
And once again I won't be going home today.
Well, I don't wanna stay.
Been five days and still the van is broken down.
Well, how much longer are we stuck here in this town?
You got to go!
We need to get our ass back out there on the road.
It's dark and getting cold.
After 20 shows in 20 days and still no problems yet.
Everything was going good, or at least as good as good can get,
My spirits high, my belly's full, can nothing bring me down?
Try ten more days of dwelling in this shit you call a town.
Take me home - It's where I wanna be.
Take me home - It's you I wanna see.
Take me home - Try and find a way.
Take me home!
"Sorry sir, but we still don't have your part."
Said some inbred at the mobile mini mart
He's got to go!
He said it might take up to a half a week or so.
Looks like we'll miss the show.
One more time we're on the road it's as bad as it can get.
But still we keep on coming back, we never will forget.
This is our life, this is our job, it's what we love to do.
But I'm packing up and heading home,
As soon as this tour's through.
Take me home - It's where I wanna be.
Take me home - It's you I wanna see.
Take me home - Try and find a way.
Is there anybody there?
Only echoes answer me
Calling you, I need you here
Tired of this human race
Running for foolish pride
All I want is to be free
Love was meant to be forever
Tell me why it is so hard to love today
Love was meant to be the finest gift of all
What went wrong? Oh lord, I need to understand
Time comes, time goes
Sails on where the water flows
In the harbor of a distant shore
Where I found peace in you, take me home
Man is bleeding in the night
Fighting to survive
Will the mighty king return?
Give me bread and give me wine
My soul is starving for your love
Fire's gone, I'm cold inside
I leave the past behind
You give me wings to fly
The time has come for me to meet the mystery
Will the mighty king return?
Every day
Keep making the same mistakes
Once again
I find myself in the same old place
And I'm wandering
Wondering
Where to turn
There's a dead end
Straight ahead
Won't you take me home?
And you said
There's nothing you wouldn't do
And I answered
There's nothing in this world I need you to do
Just hold me
In your arms
I feel so cold
There are dark clouds
Gathering
Won't you take me home?
Oh, won't you take me home?
Got me wandering
Wondering
Where to turn
There are dark clouds
Gathering
Won't you take me home?
Oh please, won't you take me home?
Take me home, take me home
Take me home and throw me down
Take me home, take me home
Take me home and tie me up
Cuz you're the one my body's been waiting aching for
You're the one I need in my darkest hour
You're the one who knows what a hypocrite I am
You're the one who knows my life is a pathetic sham
Take me home, take me home
Take me home and tie me up
Take me home, take me home
Take me home, and spit in my face
Take me home, take me home
Take me home and kick me hard
Cuz you're the one I trust enough
You're the one I trust enough to hurt me
You're the only one, I want you to give me what I deserve
See your face as I walk into the club
Catch your eye for a second long enough
I nkow you got it going on tonight
But what your searching for ain't hard to find
(want you up)
On my body body
Make me want it want it
Get me hot I gotta dance tonight
(Want you up)
On my body body
Make me want it want it
Get me hot I gotta dance tonight
You got that look
Come on girls you know you want this
All you boys you got to own it
One more hit on the dancefloor tonight
YOu got that look
Send my body into fever
Feel the rhythm taking over
One more hit on the dancefloor tonight
Then you're gonna take me home
You don't understand
You know I won't respond to your advance
'til we hit the floor
You gotta have the moves if you wanna dance
We can take it slow, but boy you gotta know
When to work harder, make me wanna, take you home

Take me home, take me home
Now's the time to follow me
take me home
come and live what ought to be
(Ezek. 11:19-21)
Here I am standin', standin' in a foreign land
On my own and all alone,
I lost my one connection
I had it all, all before, but then I had to roll the dice
When my numbers, numbers fell,
I paid the price of desolation
Take me home, take me home
I need your love I need your touch again
Only you can break my heart of stone
I want you to come and take me...
Take me home
I've climbed the highest mountains,
I've spent my time in valleys too
In this maze that we call life,
There is a strength that gets me through
My walls may crumble and they may fall,
But there's one thing I know for sure
Jesus died to give me all and when I'm sick
He is the cure
REPEAT CHORUS 2X
Rollin' I go rollin' along I'm listenin' to that diesel hum a song
Well I'm just as happy as I can be cause my pretty baby she's a waitin' for me
So come on truck yeah take me on home
I'm longin' just to hold her again and I miss her and want to kiss her again
We've been on the road for a long long time
But we'll get some rest at the end of the line
So come on truck take me on home
[ guitar + steel ]
Stoppin' just stop outside of town at the truckstop where all the truckers hang around
Oh we got some cleanin' up to do I need the shavin' you need a washjob too
So come on truck yeah take me on home
(Come on truck let's go now gettin' close to home
There's the lights of the city and that's pretty)
It’s the “touch”,
And the “taste” that threw me off,
Just another of those lines you’re bound to cross,
It’s safe to say that this nights already headed in the wrong direction,
“Well who’s to blame for you being away?”
You know that’s not fair for you to say,
“I needed something to hide the pain,
“So what’s your reason for leaving now?
You never cared much for this place anyhow,”
Foolish girl,
You know that the past will always catch you,
So just take me home,
‘Cause I need to be alone,
All these thoughts race through my head,
All the awful things she did while I was gone,
It was a look on his face that turned her on,
How could this feel so right,
And go so wrong?
It’s safe to say that you were never ready to let me be your one and only,
It’s just a shame that you threw it away,
Trust me,
I think about it everyday,
Just wish there’s some way to make her stay,
Just another reason to leave this town,
I never cared much for this place anyhow,
Jealous boy,
You know that your pride will never let you,
So just take me home,
‘Cause I need to be alone,
All these songs play in my head,
All the awful things she said,
You can just take me home,
‘Cause I’m feeling more alone,
All these thoughts race through my head,
All the awful things she did while I was gone,
So grab your keys,
We’re leaving now,
Take me away,
Our time’s run out,
I’ve been stuck in these shoes before,
So I know the worst is still in store,
Won’t be afraid to just want more,
Than what lies in front of me,
I built this up to break you down,
And smear your name across this town,
Now as you dive into this sea,
Of lies,
Deceit,
Pride,
And greed,
My only hope is that you drown,
One last way to make me proud,
I’ll do just fine here on my own,
You’ll never have to live alone,
Take me home,
I’m feeling so alone,
All these thoughts race through my head,
Of all that could have been,
So just take me home,
‘Cause I need to be alone,
All these songs play in my head,
All the awful things she said,
You can just take me home,
‘Cause I’m feeling more alone,
All these thoughts race through my head,
All the awful things she did while I was gone,
All these thoughts race through my head,
All the awful things she did while I was gone,
Take me home,
All these thoughts race through my head,
Here, I'm standing strong
I've made my choice at last forever
Here, where I belong
With you my love, my friend, no other
Lost inside of you
I'm breathless, floating through
Take me home
We can run with the rainstorms
We can sit and stare at the world
Confess our secrets to mother earth
And home, down the new road of our life
Through the window of snow fields and happiness
A new you, a new me
Take me home
Now I understand
The love we give away
We keep forever
Now with tears of joy
I'm soaring free
With you, together
Lost inside of you
I'm breathless, floating through
Take me home
We can run with the rainstorms
We can sit and stare at the world
Confess our secrets to mother earth
And home, down the new road of our life
Through the window of snow fields and happiness
A new you, a new me
Take me home
Come take my hand
My heart, my soul
Come to a place
Loved long ago
Come take my hand
My heart, my soul
Come to a place
Loved long ago
Take me home
We can run with the rainstorms
We can sit and stare at the world
Confess our secrets to mother earth
And home, to the lakes of our childhood
We can leave the meanness behind
Under the sunset skies
And home, to the land of our loved ones
To a place where there's a warm hand to hold
A wilderness unknown
And home, down the new road of our life
Through the window of snow fields and happiness
A new you, a new me
Take me home, yeah
Take me home, yeah
Come take my hand
My heart, my soul
Come to a place
Loved long ago
Come take my hand
My heart, my soul
Come to a place
Loved long ago
Come take my hand
My heart, my soul
Come to a place
Loved long ago
Come take my hand
My heart, my soul
Come to a place
Loved long ago
[First Verse: Ms. Tee]
Lovin' you, was the only way I could show you
But I could see, all this competition is a lie for me
You said you wanna be with me, but alot of girls is catchin' your eye
I feel I'm here with you, I should be the only one on your mind
If you keep actin' like a boy I'm gonna stop wastin' my time
This love can't go on, so boy take me home!
[Chorus: Ms. Tee]
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
[x2]
[Second Verse: Kangol Slim+Ms. Tee]
[Kangol Slim]
Ah! Ol' girl I know you love me
So won't you come over here and rub-a-dub me?
Because these other hoes jock you actin' funny?
Ol' girl it's no time to play
Plus me and you don't got no relationship anyway
[Ms. Tee]
Well I don't want you
Because you want everybody in my whole crew
Stop claimin' me boy like I'm your boo
You can go bout your business if you want to
Because I'm tired of you
[Kangol Slim]
Oh, you actin' silly now!
Playin' these dumb games like a silly clown!
I see you and all in your face is a frown!
Roll with the flow!
If you can't well then back home you can go
[Ms. Tee]
Oh, you actin' dumb now!
But I know the girls at the bar want you
You can't play me like a fool
You can be with them girls if you want to
Cuz I'm tired of you!
[Chorus]
[Third Verse: Mista Menor]
Before I take you home, I'ma put somethin' on your dome
Cuz baby girl you been trippin' all night long
Rollin' your eyes, smackin' your teeth, stompin' your feet
Bootin' up every broad that be talkin' to me
Ya tryin' to check somethin'? Well baby girl you wrecked somethin'
You gone need a cab home cuz I just left somethin'
Young heffer, can't roll with the high-stepper
Cayenne pepper, girl I'm hotter than hot
You know how many lil' broads wanna take your spot?
Don't be fussin', don't be cussin', don't be bitchin' alot
I'ma rapper Baby
Here's twenty-five rounds, holla at me Baby
We can do it again
You my girl, you my dog, and you still my friend
Cab driver won't you take me home
I've had way too much to drink
I don't remember (oh)
I'm gonna put the window down to get some air
So kind sir wake me when we get there
I see strangers kissing
But they don't know who they're with
I'm so hungry I'd eat anything
I'm getting out the cab
Gotta stop myself from falling
Do I say goodnight, or do I say good morning
My home is calling me, so won't you
CHORUS
(Take me home) Take me home
I left the devil at the table
Man, I feel so alone
In the city full of angels
My smile is for show
Like a designer label
(But as I lay down my head) But as I lay down my head
My loneliness spins out of control
(oh-oh...)
(I think I'm going down)
(I think I'm going down)
Man, how the hell did I get here
The room is spinning
But my lonely heart is still
I'm at the point where I need to be alone
Rather than in my bed with some girl ... I don't know (Yeah)
It takes a night like this
When memories come calling
Like the (Grenadiers) and tea on a rainy morning
I can see the sun it means it's time to go to bed
So I say goodnight to the voices in my head
They're singing my home is calling me so won't you
CHORUS
(Take me home) Take me home (oh no)
I left the devil at the table
Man, I feel so alone
In the city full of angels (I'm so lonely)
My smile is for show
It's a designer label
(As I lay down my head) as I lay down my head
My loneliness spins out of control
(It's spinning out of control)
My home is calling me, Take(take me home) Take me home
I left the devil at the table
Man I feel so alone (Man I'm so lonely)
In this city full of angels
My smile is for show
It's a designer label (as I lay down my head)
Loneliness spins out of control (oh-oh-oh...)
It's spinning out of control
She wanna take me home, lay me up inside her home
She wanna turn me on, breakfast in the mornin'
She said "Daddy let me take ya home, papi let me take ya home"
And I said "Mami you can take me home if you let the whole crew get on" (bitch)
I got this chick from Cali, profilin', she's whilin'
She's gangsta, she knows that she's got it like that
We was drivin on Crential and cruisin for food when she pulled up beside me sat off in the lap
And I said "Damn girl you actin like you don't know, never seen me before,
episode of cribs on MTV, video what you think TS stand for?"
She said "Terrific Sex", yeah thats who and the diamonds is no vitar
Used to be a broke nigga from the BX, now I'm rich got the world screamin Terror Squad
Think about it now, everywhere we go, every other city we tour, they never say no
Seems like every other night I got a different chick beggin me....
I was up in the club right as I'm Remy in my cut right
And that's when I peeped him, he was lookin so fresh and so cleaned up
From the fitted down to his sneakers
I really do mean this I aint never seen this, there was some people standin in between us
I had to go over there so I could meet him I had him pimped up in the cut near the speakers
If he got a girl I know she's heated 'cuz right now I'm all he needin
If he, crush me then trust me it's a guarantee that he's not leavin
Told me he heard of me but don't know me and I liked him for some reason
Invited him to my place, sat on his face and I aint got a man so it aint cheatin
Think about it now, I don't gotta stress, I dont never really gotta press, they always say yes
It seems like every other night I got a different nigga beggin me....
Yous a big girl, eat it up, now tell ya friend to hold your hair while you eatin' up
A little hot, little drunk, little weeded up
We in the truck and freakin off while the speakers bump
I'm steady speedin up swervin the bumps
I'm trynna fuck but I aint trynna fuck the 23's up
So I ease up, drunk and focused
Trynna watch the road but yo the back seats heatin up
And so I'm keepin' them, wish you could see them
I know you hear them breathin like you been possessed by a demon
I know you heated, wish you was here but, gotta go now have a good evening
Hang up the phone now, have a good weekend
Shorty just called the boat the front seat
And I think she's about to go down for a season
I know the horn aint beep for no reason
3 in the mornin and actin indecent
I'm out of love
I'm feelin' stressed
Seems I'm at my worst
When you're at your best
I'm on this roller coaster
Stuck inside the tangles of my mind
So baby could you show me what it's like?
If only you could take me home tonight
And baby could you show me it's easy to breathe
You made a mess of me
You always play
The starring role
You could fill a room
With all the hearts you stole
I'm on this roller coaster
Stuck inside the tangles of my mind
Remember what you left behind
So baby could you show me what it's like?
If only you could take me home tonight
And baby could you show me it's easy to breathe
Baby could you show me how it tastes?
When every piece of you and me erase
And baby could you show me it's easy to breathe
You made a mess of me
You're not making this easy, not making this easier on me
You're not making this easier I find it hard to believe in me
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Stuck inside the tangles of mind
So baby could you show me what it's like?
If only you could take me home tonight
And baby could you show me it's easy to breathe
So baby could you show me how it tastes?
When every piece of you and me erase
And baby could you show me it's easy to breathe
I'm walking in the shadows of my own tempted soul
Time is ticking by
While I'm chatting with this bottle of wine
I know that I'm not perfect
I'll admit that I'm a fool
Everytime I'm lost
I'm always finding my way back to you, the one
I need when I'm awake.
Take me Home
I wanna go
And I'm sorry I can't love you
I'm sorry I can't make you see who I am.
I can see what he was thinking
It’s so easy if you try
killing yourself with a silver dagger just to show how much her love
Is worth the pain
Then to hear her cry your name.
Take me Home
I wanna go
And I'm sorry I can't love you
I'm sorry I can't make you see who I am.
And I can't go on, I can't live like this
And we can't get it back, cuz it's all we waste it.
No I can't go on, I can't live like this...
Take me Home
I wanna go
And I'm sorry I can't love you
The softest snow falls around me
But the deepest cold is in my heart
Loving eyes that trust completely
Loving hands to hold in mine
Everything I left behind me
We've grown so far apart
I built the walls that grew around me
Watered the thorns around my soul
Always looking in the wrong place
Searching for the way they say
Now I understand I need to
Find my way back home
I can feel a change is coming
Now my soul can sing and dance
Maybe now my life begins again
If you'll
give me a chance
I said
Take me home
From he cold
Take me home
Take me home
I hope the little ones forgive me
I pray the pain
won't last too long
Nothing I can say can make it
Seems like everything's ok
Now I understand I need to
Find my way back home
I can feel a changes is coming
Now my soul can sing and dance
Maybe now my life is begins again
If you'll give me a chance
I said
Take me home
From the cold
Take me home
Follow me
I need you, I plead you
To come through
Take the lead
You know that I'm right behind you
I loved you and what do I get back
I still lack the feeling you get
When there's someone for you
Take me home, take me home
I'm alone here, have no fear, I'm safe but alone
It's a cold world, a lone world, it's hard for a girl
I wish you'd open up your eyes
See my pain through all the lies
In this room I wish I'd die
Though my tears I do not cry
Take me home
Is this the end?
You messed up
You're bad luck
You take it out on me.
You reprimand me
My choices, my voices, the way I live my life.
I pray to the angels, stand by me, beside me,
Protect me from pain
And the darkness around.
Take me home, take me home
I'm alone here, have no fear, I'm safe but alone
It's a cold world, a lone world, it's hard for a girl
I wish you'd open up your eyes
See my pain through all the lies
In this room I wish I'd die
Though my tears, I will not cry. Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
It’s your guitar that discovers you wild
for all I can see is the dark of a sky
and the plumbs in a glass jar of wine.
Take me home, take me home, take me home, don’t know
Take me home, take me home, take me home, don’t know
how I got here, but now you…
Take me home, take me home, take me home, don’t know
take me home, take me home, take me home, don’t know
how I subsist with candled up nights and pure spirits I
don’t know how you dragged me here.
And it’s my guitar that discovers me blind
for all I can see is the clarity side
and the bones someone spat
on the trash from the plumbs…
Take me home, take me home, take me home, don’t know
Take me home, take me home, take me home, don’t know
how I got here, but now you…
Take me home, take me home, take me home, don’t know
how I subsist with candled up nights and pure spirits I
don’t know how you dragged me here.
If you can call the name of our hope
that probably means I’m not there.
Take me home, take me home, take me home, don’t know
Sweetness
On the rips of your old dress
Twilight
Has it been to the warm fire
Whispers in the dark
They hit the trees
And they're running
Through your heart
To find mama's sleeve
Daddy's ain't awake
And daylight's gone
Afraid of the dark
You think your mama's bones
'Cause I can't live like this
'Cause I heard your mama cry
Chorus
Behind the door
I'm listening
She said she's gonna fly
With words of mouth
She's kissing
And she said
Woh oh oh oh oh woh
Child
Your back is straight
Don't let her curve it that way
Na na na na na na na na na na
Sweetness
On the ribs of your bear chest
Twilight
On the roof of that snowy night
You ran outside
Without your boots on
You could be lost
To find yourself at home
My mama's house is upon the sunrise
Sweet good God
Just take me by surprise
'Cause I can't live like this
'Cause I heard your mama cry
Chorus
Behind the door
I'm listening
She said she's gonna fly
With words of mouth
She's kissing
And she said
Woh oh oh oh oh woh
Child
Your back is straight
Don't let her curve it that way
But I said mama
Please take me home
Said I can't stand
To be alone
'Cause the pain
Is shooting down my spine again
So daddy's feeling sick
Oh I think he's gonna quit
Na na na na na na
Sweetness
On the mouth of your courage
Twilight
Take it and choke it down
Swallow don’t fuck around
Water hope you drown
Hunger has lost you now
Stomach may start to burn
Craving, just wait your turn
Dry mouth now won’t you learn
Take off not to return
Ceilings dripping now
Take me home
TAKE ME HOME
That tasty powder, it won’t save me tonight
Just take me with you, back into the starlight
I always think that I’m just…
Wasting My Time
Running, you’re in the woods
Why not grab up some goods
Dig up some magic food
Bag it, it’s looking blue
Take it, it’s yours to keep
And now it’s yours to eat
Fungus, it can’t be beat
Tongue gets a nasty treat
Expert analysis
Will prove the world of this
Magic or synthesis
Tragic or meaningless
But now it’s all in me
Not sure who I will be
Spit up, it’s blood you see
Sit back and smoke more weed
Ceilings dripping now
Take me home
TAKE ME HOME
That tasty powder, it won’t save me tonight
Just take me with you, back into the starlight
I always think that I’m just…
Wasting My Time
I hear them say
Welcome to heaven
You’re finally home
You’ll never get away…
AGAIIIIINNNNNNNN
But now it’s all in me
Not sure who I will be
Spit up, it’s blood you see
Sit back and smoke more weed
Ceilings dripping now
Take me home
TAKE ME HOME
That tasty powder, it won’t save me tonight
Just take me with you, back into the starlight
I always think that I’m just…
ask your questions here
i'll tell you what i know
or at least what i think is so
ask me for my help
i'll give you what i can
but don't always assume that i can lend a hand
if i smile that's entertainment
and if i frown don't say a word
cause it's just my way and i'm not changing
after all these years in this world
i'll tell you right up front
when i gotta go
cause i've got people waiting and things to do
so take me home
i've got places to be and things to see
There's a part of me that's made entirely of generosity
Can I be a better man?
Can I go to war and make them understand?
What's the use in generosity if I just keep it all for me?
Can I talk sense into them?
Even though I have a weapon in my hand
Can you take me home?
For a little while
Can you bring a smile?
Can you take me home?
I wasn't that prepared
To tell the truth I'm scared... of myself
I had to go; I couldn't say no my country is as mad as the neighbor's
We are killing for our wealth
We just care about our economic health
It's sad to say but you and me we are no better than our enemy
We just follow the instructions
That are leading to destruction, so you see
Can you take me home?
For a little while
Can you bring a smile?
Can you take me home?
I wasn't that prepared
I am a refugee
I'm homeless in this world that we call earth
But I'm not staying here for good
Cause I am on my way
I have a home that's been prepared for me
And when I'm there I've reached my goal
This world is killing me, it's hurting me, it's draining all my strength
I don't know how much longer I stand to face the pain,
to feel the hate, see all the evil in the world
Some days a day feels way to long
Chorus:
I don't belong here
In this hell we're in
I've had enough now
Take me home
People are bleeding
End this misery
Lord I'm ready take me home
What is the meaning Lord?
How long will it take 'til you decide to bring us home
Can you tell me why you wait?
There are teardrops everywhere
Your children cries, there's darkness all around
Feels like your light is fading out
I put my trust in you, don't let me down
God I won't survive
Unless your promises are real
Take us to Zion Lord, your promised land
Where sorrow won't be known
Oh how I long to face your glory
I am a victim of tragedy
And I am a victim of fate
And I live inside a few memories
Of someone who walks in the past
So now hear the things that I wanna say
And I see that you really care
Don't wanna be somebody who keeps the faith
In something that's no longer there
I believed there would've been another chance
For us all to get kid of the storm
But you see I've got nothing in my hands
And I weep like never before
Time goes by and I'm still running
Running down an endless road
Getting further toward the future
Just to find my way home
I am a victim of agony
And I am a victim of pain
And I'll live forever in your fantasy
Cause we both, we just feel the same
Time goes by and I'm still running
Running down an endless road
Getting further toward the future
Just to find my way home
I'm as light as a feather, as I'm floating down
To the hard soil, in this dirty town
And I long for the freedom that's cut me loose
Take me back, oh take me home
Take me back …………. Home
Am I falling from heaven, have I lost my faith?
Let me call on my angel, just to see her face
Cause I long for her grace, need to feel her embrace
Take me back, oh take me home
Take me back………….Home
CHORUS:
For the night seems so long , and the comfort's wrong
Hear the distant cry, of my faithful song
Take me back,oh take me home
Take me back…. Home
I'm as light as a feather, as I'm floating down
To the hard soil, in this dirty town
And I long for the freedom that's cut me loose
Take me back, oh take me home
Take me back …………. Home
CHORUS:
For the night seems so long , and the comfort's wrong
Hear the distant cry, of my faithful song
Take me back, oh take me home
Take me home, you silly boy
Put your arms around me
Take me home, you silly boy
All the world's not round without you
I'm so sorry that I broke your heart
Please don't leave my side
Take me home, you silly boy
Cause I'm still in love with you
Aye, aye, aye
Engineer told me to lay back on the beat
Ha-ha, Ha-ha
I heard that, Okay
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
Yo, I came through the door
Like the mother lurking cable guy
(Yeah)
Puffin on a cloud, looking down
Watching angels fly
Sound like a way to die
No regrets, no guilt
Only feeling like
Man, I was made to fly
Cats they hating my aura, Cause the way I shine
And I got no time for em, I Lebron
When I score ‘em, Three points off the backboard
Hands up bragging
Like I slide through the back door
Crack jaws on the prom king, you're so popular
I give a buck about the tops you dropping down
Riding around town in your brand new car
Not an A&R;, but I found you a star
No astrology, rock hard
No apologies
Till father pull the oxygen up out of me
Please let me be, for about 7 decades
After that I’ll promise
I’ll stomp through heavens gate
So fresh, like the pine in the Everglades
Blades of a white chariot, forget a Escalade...
(Nah, we don’t need that)
[Chorus]
Take me home...
Take me home ...
(Yeah)
To the place I know
(Take, take me home)
Take me home...
Take me home ...
(I see it)
To the place I know
(Yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
Told you before I'm not a mark, not a target
Pulling up in my bucket, I leave it where I parked it
Buck it, tickets all fitted right between
The windshield wipers
And the windows not clean
(Ugh)
And my pockets still lean
But hey, I live my dream
No sleep, so deep
Think I’m sinking in my dreams
And I don’t mean Evisu
I mean my people
Code of Samurai
See the path like we do
Go tell Kode Ice
It can't be done
Man, his fingertips are burning
Cause he’s reaching for the sun
All the things I learn from the thieves on the run
Taught me to be free
Don't believe all the non-
Sense and this precipice that I hang of is
Evidence were not cut from the same cloth
(Nah)
I’m a strange kind, but at the same time
Feel all people, like your pain is mine
(Yes)
So please drive slow, in the school zone kids
Know what I mean, keep cool
Don’t lose it...
(Nah, nah)
[Chorus]
Take me home...
Take me home ...
To the place I know
(Take, take me home)
Take me home...
Take me home ...
To the place I know
(Aye, aye)
(Aye)
[Verse 3]
Hey, let me get a raise
Cause I’m on my job
And I’m clean with the rhyme
And I’m not no slob
So you corn on the cobs, need butter
Me like no other
Keep trimming fat, like a meat cutter
See, other motherbuckers think its okay
To throw hate, at Kaz-well...
(What?)
They don’t even know me, go play else where
This is my sandbox
I see you're not the brightest color in the crayon box
Keys to Pandora's box, unlock the secrets
So keep it
Till people see it, believe it
Burn purple trees from Eden
Panorama vision, I have it
I see it, I grab it
I breathe it
Still put it in the air
Air so dirty, still people don’t really care
Seals and the polar bears do
Penguins too, all hate you
Cause you in your H-2
(H-2)
Well peep your rims, don't age like you
So make sure your keep
Spinning, after they do okay?
(Okay)
(Aye, aye)
(Yeah, yo)
[Chorus]
Take me home...
Take me home ...
(Yeah)
To the place I know
(Take, take me home)
Take me home...
Take me home ...
We drift through the ages of time
Your flame was held in a secret
Now I am standing alone
Is there space for everyone?
Go through a million illusions
Too long to find resolution
You were not the only one
To be loved and found
[Bridge:]
When I die do I find you in paradise?
All my worries and doubts disappear?
[Chorus:]
TAKE ME HOME TO YOUR MAGIC
I'M READY TO FEEL
DON'T LEAVE ME LONELY AND HELP TO REVEAL
TAKE ME HOME TO YOUR MAGIC
I'M READY TO FEEL
You claimed all the colours in life
So fast you got resurrection
All my memories passing by
Yet before before you said goodbye
I try to discuss with that demon
Why your life was so full of treason
In the end we're all the same
There is no one left to blame
[Bridge]
[Chorus:]
DON'T LEAVE ME LONELY AND HELP ME TO SEE
...DON'T LEAVE ME LONELY AND HELP ME TO SEE
[Midpart / solo]
[Bridge]
[Chorus:]
DON'T LEAVE ME LONELY AND HELP ME TO SEE
...HOME TO YOUR MAGIC I'M READY TO FEEL
...DON'T LEAVE ME LONELY AND HELP ME TO SEE
We say our goodbyes tearful as they may
We can't return, even from this day
To our final home we shall ever stay
So glorious, is all that they say
We board the train to the promised land
We've worked so hard, always on demand
To our rewards for our sacrifice
Blood, sweat, and tears has been our life
Take me home, to paradise
Where the seas move into light
Take me home to paradise
Where the days move into night
As sad as it seems, with families no more
We will now see, the old ones before
Surely they will be, younger in age
As we were told, from the master sage
Take me home to paradise
Take me home to paradise
On and on the train moves on and then we do arrive
The place is so barren cold nothing like it's told
An army of CCF wait by the doors
Then they march us one by one till there is no more
Take me home, take me home, take me home to paradise
Drowning is much easier
than treading water in these seas of emptiness
”I see you gasping for air”
that’s how you know I’m reaching out
I’ve been choking on the lies
“they’ve had you screaming out… for quite some time”
I tried so hard….it’s so hard to say goodbye.
These promises I’ve broken…I’m leaving them behind
so take me back home!
“I’m watching and I’m waiting for you to see the light
Are you coming back home?”
I still see you
the shore it seems so far away
I’m tired now…I’ll fall asleep
“But I would swim with you…if you’d just take my hand”
I’ll settle for this restless ocean,
storms and emptiness no hope…
a misery that fell in love me
“but I’m holding on”
These promises I’ve broken
I’m leaving them behind…so take me back home
“I’m watching and I’m waiting…for you to see the light
Are you coming back home?”
Well I held this in my hands…then it poured down just like rain
and I’ll sing this song…of my pain!
TAKE ME HOME
Sue Hammond, c. 1982
1. I've traveled these miles through dozens of smiles'
Never wanting a man or a home.
Then you came along, and in less than a song
The seeds of love you had sown.
Chorus:
Take me home, where the black bird sings by your door
I won't ask any more
And I'm so tired of living alone.
Take me home, where the black bird sings by your door
I won't ask any more
And I'm so tired of living alone.
2. I knew from the start you'd be breaking my heart,
It's a traveling life that we lead.
Now are games at a draw, 'cause you know that I saw
In you, a reflection of me.
3. I won't ask you to stay as you go on your way,
But there's one thing I want you to know,
When you are weary, and your days are too dreary,
You can come back to me and I'll say:

Hey - how are you now
Thought I'd call you up to
say I'm sorry
'Cause I - I miss you so
And though it's over you're
still all I'm thinking of...
so here I'm standing all alone
I just can't make it on my own
So please take me home
I just don't know what to do
Yeah, please take me home
'Cause I can't get over you
So you just don't know
If we ever should get back together
'Cause I - I can't let go
And I'll do anything to work
this out somehow
Well here I'm walkin' in a
minor mode
Lonely down this
long and winding road
so if you ever change your mind
Please just let me know
In the sweet light
Of the valley,
When the sun falls
Upon the pine,
I shall lay down
All of my troubles,
And I lift up,
This heart of mine.
Take me home, Lord,
Oh take me home.
O'er the hillside,
And o'er the sea,
To the soft grass of the valley,
Where your grace
Shall set me free.
Through the shadow
Of the darkness,
Through the storms that
Lead me astray
I shall travel
Forever knowing
In your light,
I will always stay.
Take me home, Lord,
Oh take me home.
O'er the hillside,
And o'er the sea,
To the soft grass of the valley,
Where your grace
