Lyrics:

Take Me Back
(Creme/Godley)
Take me back
Let me be
I've been away too long
But still indulge myself in flights of fancy

Fancy me
Trouble free
Up against the wall
But still inclined to thumb my nose at reason

I'll get no change from time I'm spending
Wasting all my life
Surely, the never ending life is not for me

But oh to see
You care about
My whereabouts
You care about
My whereabouts

Time in hand
Hand in glove
I leave my borrowed friends
For I was never meant to be a pilgrim

Oh take me back to ol' Virginia
Lay me on my bed of leaves
Show me the love that's in ya

Yes you're part of marriage
My carriage awaits you
Put your hand in my pocket
And dance
Put your hand in my pocket
And dance

But if I'd had a hand in past defense
I'd know I'd make the most of friendship
Or I would never come back home
