Text: The Jakes. Take Me Home.
Sweetness
On the rips of your
Old Dress
Twilight
Passed the banks of the
Warm Fire
Whispers in the dark they hit the trees
And they run in to your heart to find mama?s sleeves
Daddy ain?t awake yet and daylight?s gone
You?re afraid of the dark you think of mama?s bones
Says I can?t live like this
Because I heard your mama cry
Behind the door I?m listenin?
She said she?s gonna fly
With words your mouth she?s kissing
She said Oh oh oh child
Your back is straight
Don?t let hurt curve it that way
Say nah nah nah nah?
Sweetness
On the ribs of your
Bare chest
Twilight
On the roof of that
Snowy night
You run into the dark without your boots on
And if you could be lost you?d find yourself at home
Where mama?s house is up on the sunrise
Sweet good god just take me by surprise
Cuz? I can?t live like this
Says I heard your mama cry
Behind the door I?m listenin?
She says she?s gonna try
With words your mouth she?s kissin?
And she said oh oh oh child
Your back is straight
Don?t let hurt curve it that way
But I said mama just take me home
Cuz I can?t stand bein? alone
This pain is shooting down my spine again
I said Daddy?s feelin? sick
I think he?s gonna quit
Sweetness
On the mouth of your caress
Twilight
Past the stars of that open night
