Take Me Home — Roger Daltrey

By Eli/Axel Bauer/Roger Daltrey/Nigel Hinton В© 1987 Chappel Music, Inc.,ASCAP

Forty days of living hell Force nine gale, broken sail What a story I could tell

Forty days of ocean roar Now two nights to kill on shore Stars fall, girls call, take me home

Walking through this empty town Cuts me up and brings me down I'm shipwrecked on my own

Passing cars striptease bars And I'm drinking all alone Lost dreams, gull screams, take me home

But this machine inside my head Remembers every word she said But this machine inside my head Is telling me this dream is dead And leaves me drifting high and dry

Read light beauty calls me in Smoky haze, shifty gaze And the dead night smells of gin

As rage and emptiness collide Just feel a burning deep inside Waves growl, winds howl, take me home

Someone please now rescue me From the chains of the sea I'm drifting endlessly Someone please set me free I'm sinking helplessly
