Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take that look of worry
I'm an ordinary man
They don't tell me nothing
So I find out all I can
There's a fire that's been burning
Right outside my door
I can't see but I feel it
And it helps to keep me warm
[Verse 2]
So I, I don't mind
No, I, I don't mind
[Verse 3]
Seems so long I've been waiting
Still don't know what for
There's no point escaping
I don't worry anymore
I can't come out to find you
I don't like to go outside
They can't turn off my feelings
Like they're turning off the light
[Verse 4]
But I, I don't mind
No, I, I don't mind
Oh, I, I don't mind
No, I, I don't mind
[Verse 5]
So take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home (Oh, Lord)
Well, I've been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you
[Verse 6]
Take that look of worry
Mine's an ordinary life
Working when it's daylight
And sleeping when it's night
I've got no far horizons
I don't wish upon a star
They don't think that I listen
Oh, but I know who they are
[Verse 7]
And I, I don't mind
No, I, I don't mind
Oh, I, I don't mind
No, I, I don't mind
[Verse 8]
So take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home (Oh, Lord)
Well, I've been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you
[Verse 9]
But I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
[Verse 10]
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
[Verse 11]
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
[Verse 12]
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
