Take Me Further

David A. Stern

--

Take me further down the road.

This patch of grass is growing old.

I don’t know where it’s gonna lead

but I know I have to go.

These streets are full of dirt and grime,

just like the highway of my mind

ever since I packed my bags

and left it all behind.

My heart is heavy but my feet are fast.

I’m on my way, I’m turning back.

Now I just need to find

where I left you last.

Traveling for quite a while

and I’m counting every mile

until I get back to you,

until I see you smile.

One day I’ll be home again;

we’ll share a laugh just like old friends,

we’ll forget about the past

and memories will mend.

So take me further down the road.

Faster now, I’m growing old.

I’m sorry that I ever left;

I thought I had to go.
