Take Me Lyrics

I pull my boots off, throw my weapons on the floor

 Cry my eyes out, in my private little war

 Well it seems I've been a soldier

 Heaven knows I've been no saint

 In my camouflage and armor, cold heart and grease paint

 To you this has no meaning the Armistice laid down

 The armies are all quiet and the guns don't make a sound

 

 'Cause you melted the steel walls, tore down the barbed wire

 Filled in the trenches, demanded a cease fire

 And now you're leaving, there's nothing I can do

 I want you to know you're gonna take me with you

 

 Well now three on a match is suicide in the foxhole of my mind

 And way off in the distance the air raid sirens whine

 And they sing your song of rescue to my tattered worn out shell

 You drag me to your safety from this my front line hell

 

 'Cause you melted the steel walls, tore down the barbed wire

 Filled in the trenches, demanded a cease fire

 And now you're leaving, there's nothing I can do

 I want you to know you're gonna take me with you

 

 The blood that was spilled in the heartache before

 Left road maps of scars that I never could ignore

 

 'Cause you melted the steel walls, tore down the barbed wire

 Filled in the trenches, demanded a cease fire

 And now you're leaving, there's nothing I can do

 I want you to know you're gonna take me with you
