Take Me Home

Thea Gilmore


I came in like a jackdaw 
On the drift of an outlaw 
I heard there's a warrant out 
For my arrest 
Among the cute little puritans 
The ghosts and the hooligans 
All tying nooses 
I'll willing to bet 

But I'm older now 
Braver 
The wise imitator 
You don't know yet but you're gonna 
Take me home 

I've got the epilogue notes 
In the folds of my coat 
A new deck of cards 
And the shreds of your dream 
Between the merry-go-round 
And the soldiers of sound 
I'm here holding my own Halloween 

Cos I'm older now......... 

I'm where the smoke folds 
On the corner 
I'm where the light is arching its back (take me home) 

I'm where the oil is meeting the water 
And the train's screeching 
Down the track (take me home)
