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.
