Take Me Away
Journey to Freedom: Embracing Life's Spectacle
Lyrics
You should have been there when
You should have experienced the moment
The time was right for the music to begin
When the right time arrived for the music to start
You shoulda been there when
You should have been present
That band of gypsies started rollin' in
When a group of wandering entertainers arrived
You should seen it
You should have witnessed it
You'da swore for sure the circus came to town
You would have been convinced that a circus had arrived in town
There were ladies ridin' bareback
There were women riding horses without saddles
And the mystery man
And a mysterious person
All painted like a clown
Appearing as if they were painted like a clown
You should seen October feelin'
You should have observed October feeling
Like I never felt before
In a way I had never experienced before
Flashin up New England skies
Lighting up the skies of New England
Like the fires of the revoluntionary war
Resembling the fires of the revolutionary war
You shoulda heard the music comin' down
You should have listened to the music descending
Like the hardest rain that ever fell
Similar to the most intense rain ever
Wakin' up in the afternoons
Waking up in the afternoon
With a hundred lovers feedin' in the same motel
With numerous lovers staying in the same motel
Take me away take me away take me away
Expressing a desire to be taken away
Take me away take me away take me away
Repeated longing to be taken away
Take me away take me away take me away
Continued expression of wanting to be taken away
Take me away take me away take me away
Reiteration of the desire to be taken away
To the place where the greatest
To a place where the most magnificent show is happening on the road you travel
Show on earth is playin' high on your highway
You should have seen as I've been described
You shoulda seen me I've been told
A smile was present on my face
I had a smile upon my face
Moving from one state to another
Slippin' from state to state
Ending up in a state of drunken bliss
Endin' up in a drunken state of grace
Not too long ago, I used to believe this kind of life was challenging
It wasn't very long ago
You should have been present
I used to say this kind of life is rough
But I can assure you even that was insufficient
You shoulda been there
But I can tell you even that was not enough
Expressing the desire to be taken away again
Take me away take me away take me away
Repeated plea to be taken away
Take me away take me away take me away
Continued request to be taken away
Take me away take me away take me away
Expressing the desire to be taken away again
Take me away take me away take me away
Reiteration of the plea to be taken away
