Erasure – Take Me back

Take me back to the place
Where I once belonged
This could be anyplace a place
Where you and I could sing this song

Take me back where I hear waterfalls flowing

Let me dive into the lake
Where winter hides the snow
Then comes the summertime
Fields of scarlet poppies grow

Take me back where I see butterflies toing froing

And the river flows
I am never gonna take it back again
And the river flows
I am never gonna get it back again

We don’t know anything
Trapped in a world full of strangers
Please don’t tell me anything
I’d rather fall into you

Let me sleep a little while
Underneath the trees
And dream of dragonflies
Where the weary willow weeps for me

Take me back where I see dandelions blowing

And the river flows
I am never gonna take it back again
And the river flows
I am never gonna take it back again
And the river flows
I am never gonna get it back again
And the river flows
I am never gonna get it back again

We don’t know anything
Trapped in a world full of strangers
Please don’t tell me anything
I’d rather fall into you

to my darling gay husband – My confidante, my best friend, my kindred spirit, my brother… you may be what feels like a zillion miles away, and I, fool of a girl that I am, don’t know anything except that I am trapped in a world full of strangers… but the sound of your voice always takes me back to where I belong for a little while and gives me hope and courage to carry with me. Thanks for loving me as much as I love you. Thanks for always being honest and real even when it’s awkward, not to mention unafraid to be silly at even the most serious of moments, which is a valuable skill indeed. And lots of other stuff, too. I love you so much babe! I don’t even want to picture a world where I didn’t meet you.
