that sound coming from those holes
a voice that soars
and takes my wounds with it
to levels unknown
if only you could take me out
instead of back in
to a relationship i don’t understand
if only you could take me out
instead of back in
to myself that’s dying within

your soul pours out of those holes
music of this crazy time
when your car crashed
did your ghost find peace
and together entwine?

if only you could take me out
instead of back in
to a relationship i don’t understand
if only you could take me out
instead of back in
to myself that’s dying within

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

Take me home

Take that look of worry
I’m an ordinary man
They don’t tell me nothing
So I find out what I can
There’s a fire that’s been burning
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 waiting
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 turning off a 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

Take that look of worry, mine’s an ordinary life
Working when it’s daylight
And sleeping when it’s night
I’ve got no far horizons
I don’t wish upon a star
They don’t think that I listen
Oh but I know who they are
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..

Take me home, take me home
I know another place to be
Take me home, take me home
You deserve a girl like me
Come on I know somewhere
You can unwind
We can just disappear
Now’s the time
Take me home, take me home
Only fair I get my way
Take me home, take me home
Oh it’s going to happen anyway
I know what’s good for you
Don’t pass me by
I will look after you
You’ll be fine
I’m in heaven I’ll show you heaven it’s so much heaven
let’s make a move
lets leave this world behind
I know you approve by the look in your eyes
I’m in heaven I’ll show you heaven It’s so much heaven
take me home take me home
I will show you where to walk
take me home take me home
baby let the people talk
we’ll get away from here
I’m reading your mind
We can just disappear
now’s the time
I’m in heaven, I’ll show you heaven take me home
Oh, take me home
Oh, take me home
In this moment one night with you
all alone with nothing to loose
let’s make a move
let’s leave this world behind
I know you approve by the look in your eyes
I’m in heaven I’ll show you heaven it’s so much heaven
Take me home, take me home
Now’s the time to follow me
take me home
come and live what ought to be
take me home take me home

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
Please take me home
To the place where I was born
Take me home, take me home, take me home

I don’t want any friends
In my new home
‘Cause I’d prefer to stay
There all alone

You told me
“I would like to be with you”
Now you’re gone
And everything’s so strange and new

I love my friends
And you know I miss them so
I miss my friends children
And I miss watching them grow

Take me back to the place
Where I was born
‘Cause it’s the place where
I feel like being home

VERSE 1:
Christmas songs are playing,
but not for me.
Why does everything seem so out of place?
Everyone thinks this is a merry time for all
and to see the frozen tears upon my face.

CHORUS:
Someone take me home for Christmas
so I won’t be alone.
Let me have a family
to call my very own.
And then
I’ll feel the joy that they’re all singing of.
This Christmas just give me someone to love.

VERSE 2:
I was too small to remember,
though I cried out loud.
I wish they would write or call me,
I guess they’re just too proud.
People make mistakes,
though the heart sunk to the ground.
I’d gladly open my arms if they’d only come around.

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
All year came and went.
I held my hopes up high.
But now I need you bad.
If ever there was a time.
It’s just once that we live.
We take so much, why can’t you give?

CHORUS:
So someone take me home for Christmas,
so I won’t be alone.
Let me have a mom and dad again,
someone to call my own.
And then
I’ll feel the joy that they’re all singing of.
This Christmas just give me someone to love.

I feel a hunger

It’s a hunger that tries to keep a man awake at night.
Are you the answer?
I shouldn’t wonder when I feel you whet my appetite

With all the power you’re releasing

It isn’t safe to walk the city streets a
Anticipation is running through me

Let’s find the key and turn this engine on.

I can feel you breathe
I can feel your heartbeat faster.
Take me home tonight!
I don’t want to let you go till you see the light!
Take me home tonight!
Listen honey
iust like Ronnie sang: Be my little baby!

I get frightened in all this darkness

I get nightmares
I hate to sleep alone
I need some company

A guardian angel to keep me warm when the cold winds blow!

I can feel you breathe
I can feel your heartbeat faster. . . .
Be my little baby!

Just like Ronnie sang
I say
just like Ronnie sang:
Be my little baby
baby
my darling!
I feel a hunger
it’s a hunger!

Take me home tonight!…
Take me home tonight!…
Take me home tonight!…
