Take Me Back

Take me back

Let me be

I've been away too long

But still indulge myself in flights of fancy

Fancy me

Trouble free

Up against the wall

But still inclined to thumb my nose at reason

I'll get no change from time I'm spending

Wasting all my life

Surely, the never ending life is not for me

But oh to see you care about my whereabouts

You care about my whereabouts

Time in hand

Hand in glove

I leave my borrowed friends

For I was never meant to be a pilgrim

Oh take me back to old Virginia

Lay me on my bed of leaves

Show me the love that's in ya

Yes you're part of my marriage

My carriage awaits you

Put your hand in my pocket and dance

Put your hand in my pocket and dance

But if I'd had a hand in past events

I'd know I'd make the most of friendship

Or I would never come back home
