Take Me Home-Repost

Take Me Home Take me home, oh take me home to stay To a weary heart some comfort bring Let me rest , I long for yesterday... Years have past , the sky is turning gray For me soon the bells of death will ring Take me home, oh take me home to stay... In my youth's folly I went away Now to the past my thoughts do cling Let me rest, I long for yesterday... I thought to conquer the world one day But instead I felt the serpent's sting Take me home, oh take me home to stay... Just let me smell life's old bouquet And remember old songs to sing Let me rest, I long for yesterday... I see the light of home so far away And the thrush upon its silent wing Take me home, oh take me home to stay Let me rest, I long for yesterday

This almost has the feel of an old folk song.....I can hear a mandolin, or a harmonica along with the rather melancholy voice that sings these sad words. Nicely done. :)
