TAKE ME HOME

I find myself in the city
Looking up
The city's just too big for me

I find myself walking too long
Forgotten which street
I'm supposed to be on

So I catch a cab in the city
Make up some place
I'd quite like to be

And then direct him to somewhere entirely different

And I find myself in the city
Stop in a bar
And ask for coffee

They only serve beer
so I stay for a while
Trading smiles with the mirror

And I find myself in the city
Tonight
I'm here as they turn on the lights
I find myself in the city

Take me home/home/home
I've been waiting too long-long in the city
Take me away - way to the country
Where everyone's happy (...)

At home/home

Alone once again
I find myself outside as it starts to rain
But I don't move
'Cause it feels like a picture to me

And I find myself in the city
Tonight
I'm here as they turn off the lights

Take me home/home/home
I've been waiting too long-long in the country
Take me away- way to city
Where everyone's happy
At home - home


Take me home
I've been wasting too long-long in the city
In the country
Take me away back to the city
Where I was happy at home/home

Take me home
I've been wasting too long long in the country
Take me away - way to the city
Where I was happy
for an hour or two

Wasted too long in the country
Take me back home to the city
Where I'll be happy for an hour or two.

Take me home.
