Take Me Away

The day you passed away

Something about this place changed

We were waiting for signals of love

But you were cold and I guess you'd had enough

Spoke my name, I felt your pain

As your eyes cloud up and then close shut

I saw your soul leave this room

Like it was sick of you

You had this look on your face

Like you were thinking

Just take me away

I'll never change

Take me away

I will never change

My father was broken and low

And I saw a side that he'd never shown

So many secrets he kept

Some things he was forced to accept

Spoke my name, I felt your pain

As your eyes cloud up and then close shut

I saw your soul leave this room

Like it was sick of you

You had this look on your face

Like you were thinking

Just take me away

I'll never change

Take me away

I will never change

Crossed his heart and hoped to die

I know you fought so hard and held your pride

I wish you knew my thoughts and heard my voice

'Cause I was tied in knots, but stood with poise

And when you spoke my name, I felt your pain

As your eyes cloud up and then close shut

I saw your soul leave this room

Like it was sick of you

You had this look on your face

Like you were thinking

Just take me away

I'll never change

Take me away

I will never change

(There's a tear in your beard)

('Cause I'm crying for you, dear)

(You were always on my mind)

(Until these last few years)
