(Lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals & Dash Crofts, 1971)
|
I used to look out from my window and see the tall grass in the wind.
|
Standing there just like advance guards waiting for the battle to begin.
|
My mother used to be much younger. She'd sing me soft, sweet lullabies.
|
I saw my fortress in the mountains each time I looked into her eyes.
|
|
But now she's gone,
|
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go.
|
Take me I just want to know what I used to know.
|
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go.
|
Take me there, take me I just want to go.
|
|
My father's hair has turned to grey now. I never stopped to ask him why.
|
And all the things that he onced treasured, I see them slowly drifting by.
|
And now I look out from my mountain and see the soldiers in the field.
|
It won't be long now 'til they have me. This time advance guards are for real.
|
|
Come on, come on and
|
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go.
|
Take me I just want to know what I used to know.
|
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go.
|
Take me there, take me I just want to go.
