Take Me Back

Severance - Tom Bagshaw

Take Me Back

All grown up now

Oh yes that's what they say

Old-man thinking

Compounding with each day

Lights in my eyes

Fading quickly away

Need to go on

But doubt causes delay

Thumbing backwards

Through the pages of time

To regain understanding

Of Mother Goose's rhymes

Searching dark caverns

In the depths of my mind

To recover innocence

A part of me I must find

A tiny vessel

Adrift and lost at sea

Hell or paradise

What is it going to be

A water lily

A rose if she believes

Retain blind faith

Only blind faith achieves

Chorus:

Take me back to my younger years

To that state of mind which has no fears

When believing was all you had to do

To make your child words ring so true

Take me back to my younger years

To that state of mind which has no fears
