Lyrics
TAKE ME WITH YOU
By DANIEL CURZON
WHEN I WAS VERY SMALL
AND MY FOLKS WERE SORT OF PRODIGAL,
SOMETIMES MY NEIGHBORS WOULD GO AWAY ON TRIPS.
AND I WOULD ACHE AND BURN AND YEARN
TO GO WITH THEM IN CARS OR PLANES OR SHIPS.
BUT I COULDN'T ASK THEM, SEE,
IF THEY COULD SOMEHOW FIND ROOM FOR ME.
WHAT IF THEY JUST LAUGHED AS IF IT WAS A JOKE,
OR SAID "NO" OR 'NO! NO! NO! NO!'
OR, WORSE, PRETENDED I HAD NEVER SPOKE.
CHORUS:
TAKE ME WITH YOU!
TAKE ME WITH YOU!
I'M PACKED AND READY FOR MAINE OR IDAHO!
TAKE ME WITH YOU!
TAKE ME WITH YOU!
PLEASE! PLEASE! I SO MUCH WANT TO GO!
A LOVED ONE JUST PASSED AWAY.
AND GRIEF CAN HELP, BUT NOT ENOUGH.
I TRY TO FIGHT AND GO ON AS BEST I CAN,
AND I DO WISH AND BITCH AND HOPE.
BUT IT'S HARD, HARDER THAN I CAN REALLY STAND.
2 TAKE ME WITH YOU
THEY'RE NOT COMING BACK AGAIN.
THERE WILL BE NO MORE TALKS THROUGH THICK AND THIN.
JUST EMPTINESS, TV SHIT, AND SPORTS AND GIN.
SHOULD HAVE EXPECTED THIS AS LIFE'S FATE.
WHO AM I TO ESCAPE? YET IT'S NOT TOO LATE.
REPEAT partial CHORUS TWICE
