Take Me with You

The wide-eyed naïveté that filled my sails

Was long gone before April showers fell

And sidewalk amusements, they

Wash off in the rain

And these years of solitude's more gentle hand

Never resolved into any kind of plan

So, who am I to question now

A single thing you're saying?

Oh, take

Take me with you

Whatever the mystic whispered voices tell you

I need to hear them, too

Oh, take

Take me with you

If ever an answer lay in wait for a question

It's me lying, waiting for you

So, take

Oh, take me with you

Under this portico of redwood boughs

Our schemes and our plans, nearly laughable now

Little flutterings that matter less

Than any whirl of wind

Still, something brought both of us to this time and place

Where things built so carefully are casually erased

Maybe our little lives will make a little difference in the end

Oh, take

Take me with you

Whatever the mystic whispered voices tell you

I need to hear them, too

Oh, take

Take me with you

If ever an answer lay in wait for a question

It's me lying, waiting for you

It's me lying, waiting for you

It's me lying, waiting for you

So, take

Oh, take me with you

Oh, take

Take me with you

Whatever the mystic whispered voices tell you

I need to hear them, too

Oh, take me

Oh, take me with you

Honey, it's been years, I've been here

I'm here lying, waiting for you

I'm here lying, waiting for you

So, take

Oh, take me with you
