Take me away from here like you said And i will be grateful with what i have left Dance in the aisle for me and hold out your hand And take me away my dear I grew up in a lifeboat tied to shore by the winter wind I was made to be set afloat not star of the show ever glittering In center ring, not a clue... Take me away from here like you said And i will be grateful with what i have left Dance in the aisle for me and hold out your hand And take me away my dear I am not at the end though, i wont go at the peak or near I will die in a foxhole, arm to shoulder with atheist Praying just, lord not here... Take me away from here like you said And i will be grateful with what i have left Dance in the aisle for me and hold out your hand And take me away my dear
