| I was listenin' to the ocean |
| I saw a face in the sand |
| But when I picked it up |
| Then it vanished away from my hands, dah |
| I had a dream I was seven |
| Climbin' my way in a tree |
| I saw a piece of heaven |
| Waitin' in patience for me, dah |
|
| And I was runnin' far away |
| Would I run off the world someday? |
| Nobody knows, nobody knows |
| And I was dancing in the rain |
| I felt alive and I can't complain |
|
| But no, take me home |
| Take me home where I belong |
| I can't take it anymore |
|
| I was painting a picture |
| The picture was a painting of you |
| And for a moment I thought you were here |
| But then again, it wasn't true, dah |
| And all this time I have been lyin' |
| Oh, lyin' in secret to myself |
| I've been putting sorrow on the farthest place on my shelf |
| La-di-da |
|
| And I was runnin' far away |
| Would I run off the world someday? |
| Nobody knows, nobody knows |
| And I was dancing in the rain |
| I felt alive and I can't complain |
|
| But no, take me home |
| Take me home where I belong |
| I got no other place to go |
| No, take me home |
| Take me home where I belong |
| I got no other place to go |
| No, take me home |
| Take me home where I belong |
| I can't take it anymore |
|
| But I kept runnin' for a soft place to fall |
| And I kept runnin' for a soft place to fall |
| And I kept runnin' for a soft place to fall |
| And I kept runnin' for a soft place to fall |
|
| And I was runnin' far away |
| Would I run off the world someday? |
|
| But no, take me home |
| Take me home where I belong |
| I got no other place to go |
| No, take me home |
| Take me home where I belong |
| I got no other place to go |
|
| No, take me home, home where I belong, no, no |
| No, take me home, home where I belong, oh, oh, oh |
| No, take me home, home where I belong, no, no |
| No, take me home, home where I belong |
| I can't take it anymore |
