Take Me Home

Before the bar spills out into the street at 3 am or so
And I need a man to lean upon while I wait to get my coat
Across the dancefloor you'll walk up to me as we've caught each other's eye
As we step out into winters eve you stop and hail a ride
I'll say "Where you goin? Take me home."

We could stumble through the doorway
Up the stairs into your room
And get to know each other better
As lovers often do
We could drift asleep between your arms
You dim the lights are getting low
Sex and tiredness fill the air tonight
Will you take me, take me home?

I said will you take me, take me home?
I'll go with you, but darling go slow
Will you take me, it's you and me
I'll go with you, I'll go easily
And I'll say again so you know
Will you take me, take me home?

We could pass some time together
Where I'm with you every night
I'll get down upon a single knee
And ask you to share my life
Cause all I want is us
Exchanging vows till the last right
We'll drink and dance the night away till dawn
Till our legs give way outright
I'll shout will you take me?
Oh,Take me home

We could look into the future
On the table plans are formed
Brick by brick we'll build a sturdy roof
To weather from life's storm
And if you and I could build home some way along the road
We'll past the years together
Keys in hand, you take me home

I said will you take me, take me home?
I'll go with you, but darling go slow
Will you take me, it's you and me
I'll go with you, I'll go easily
And I'll say again so you know
Will you take me, take me home?

And if we're together weathering time new lines upon our brow
An old man comes a knocking to take me from the now
Upon a bench we can sit and rest a while
And let me catch my breath
Before the earth is dug below me
Tell me of all the days we spent

I said will you take me, take me home?
I'll go with you, but darling go slow
Will you take me, it's you and me
I'll go with you, I'll go easily
And I'll say again so you know
Will you take me, take me home?

And that was that and that was us
No big drama no big fuss
A promise he'd text me the following day
A kiss on the cheek, then he drove away
Belfast was telling me to sleep
Your dancing's done for tonight Lad
The whiskey will keep
I stumbled up the steps to the house and headed to bed
And I was dead to the world I tell ya, the minute the pillow hit my head

And I'll say again so you know
Will you take me, take me home?
