About Take Me Back

Long ago I went away were the first words that I wrote,

Pondering there, pencil in hand little lump in my throat,

The words they came so easily, trying hard to write them down,

Before I forgot just what to say, before they left my mind,

I never thought when I wrote this song that it would ever be,

A song that as been liked so well, enjoyed by so many,

Guess the title says it all and the words throughout the song,

Especially for those living away, that have been away so long,

Going away is a fact of life and the sorrow that it brings,

We try and find a way to stay but most times can’t do a thing,

Dreams we had they fade when we know that we can’t stay,

Few tears as we say goodbye then there’s nothing more to say

It’s been just a few years since I released this melody,

Stories and comments from those away, they mean so much to me,

They all pray to return again, they long to be back home,

And rest there forever more and never more to roam.
