| I’ve been keeping on the run
|
| I’ve been traveling with the sun
|
| I’ve been singing all my life and getting by
|
| Got to keep up with what’s goung on
|
| In this place I’ve been so long
|
| And I guess I’ll just keep singing all my life
|
| And it’s so good to come home
|
| To a woman all alone
|
| Forgeting how hnd loneliness can be
|
| She will take me from this world
|
| Then she’ll gently take the world away from me
|
| L’ll be coming home at night
|
| While the kids are sleeping tight
|
| She’ll be lit by firelight and looking fine
|
| And the kids jump out of bed
|
| Hello Daddy, what did you get
|
| Did you think of anything on down the line
|
| She’ll be talking with her smile
|
| Saying, honey, wait awhile
|
| The kids have missed you, soon they’ll be asleep
|
| She will take me from this world
|
| Then she’ll gently take the world away from me
|
| Oh the prophets and the sages
|
| And the wise men through the ages
|
| All that’s written down on pages from above
|
| Just can’t adequately describe
|
| What I’m feeling here inside
|
| It’s just useless to be living without love
|
| And I’ll take her by her hand
|
| Just a woman and a man
|
| Without trying to understand what we should be
|
| She will take me from this world
|
| Then she’ll gently take the world away from me |
