The Flea

Instrumental rambling

In love at the bowling alley

Take me away

TAKE ME AWAY (1989)

I CAN FEEL A WOMAN NEAR ME IN THE DARK OF THE NIGHT
WANT TO HOLD HER FOREVER SO SOLID AND TIGHT
SOME DAY I’M GOING TO FIND HER IN THE LIFE THAT I LIVE
AND GIVE HER ALL THE LOVE THIS HEART CAN POSSIBLY GIVE

CHORUS:

TAKE ME AWAY TO ANOTHER LAND ANOTHER TIME
THROUGH THE TREMBLING OF THE VOICES SWINGING SWEET WORDS OF RHYME
MY BACK IS SWAYING SLOWLY, IT KNOWS WHERE TO GO
WITH THIS GUITAR I AM MOVING SO SLOW

I CAN FEEL THE SPIRIT IN ME SO PURE AND SOFT
AND FOR JUST A COUPLE MINUTES WELL I CAN’T TURN IT OFF
THROUGH MY LONELY LIFE OF STRUGGLING SO HARD TO BREAK FREE
BUT NOW IT’S ALL WORTH WHAT I FEEL HERE IN ME


THE SWEETNESS OF A BALLAD IS SOFT AND SO TRUE
THAT THE WHOLE WORLD COMES TOGETHER IN A CLOUD OF HAZE AND BLUE
I FEEL LIKE SHINING IN A STATE OF PURE DELIGHT
AND I FEEL LIKE I’M GLOWING IN A WHITE POOL OF LIGHT

(here's the happy song everyone is looking for - a little hope in the face of hopelessness - one of my favorite themes. This song was inspired and influenced by "To Lay Me Down" by the Grateful Dead - they can contact me for a cut of the royalties if it ever makes it big)
