I was listenin' to the ocean I saw a face in the sand But when I picked it up Then it vanished away from my hands, gone I had a dream I was seven Climbing my way in a tree I saw a piece of heaven Waitin' impatient for me, down And I was runnin' far away Would I run off the world someday? Nobody knows, nobody knows I was dancin' in the rain I felt alive and I can't complain Now take me home Take me home where I belong I got no other place to go Now take me home Take me home where I belong I can't take it anymore I was painting a picture The picture was a painting of you And for a moment I thought you were here But then again, it wasn't true, gone And all this time, I have been lyin' Oh, lyin' in secret to myself I've been putting sorrow on the farthest place on my shelf La-di-da And I was runnin' far away Would I run off the world someday? Nobody knows, nobody knows And I was dancin' in the rain I felt alive and I can't complain But now take me home Take me home where I belong I got no other place to go Now take me home Take me home where I belong I got no other place to go Now take me home Take me home where I belong I can't take it anymore But I kept runnin' for a soft place to fall And I kept runnin' for a soft place to fall And I was runnin' far away Would I run off the world someday? But now take me home Take me home where I belong I got no other place to go Now take me home Take me home where I belong I got no other place to go Now take me home, home where I belong, now-now Now take me home, home where I belong, oh I can't take it anymore
