Don Chaffer - Take Me lyrics

"Old ain't a word the I'm fond of," he said "And these days I've begun to lose count." Mumbling she rolls in her wheelchair, and says "I'm afraid that they've closed my account." There's a blur that occurs in the line of their life That decays the whole notion of sense And they call to the past, insisting that it last While they're climbing down reality's fence Singing with me Take me Take me Write my name in the most Holy Tome And when it's my time To a**ume the sublime Take me to my promised home And their hands aren't gnarled, they're in love with the earth And they're dying to go there again We say the essence of life is strong in our youth Slowly buried under wrinkles of skin But there's God in the way that life comes to an end In the way that it draws to a close In the saying of soul to the house of the skin You're too weak now to really oppose
