Lyrics
Take me back to that day before light
When the earth spinning faster and the air too hot
No creature had moved or showed its might
And life was a tiny dot
Nothing existed to love you
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back to the court to kings
When the world was ruled by knights and flail
When poor people prayed for the grace of God
And Lancelot fought for the Grail
And I would have loved to have saved you
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back to that time before time
When life was ridden at the pace of a snail
When the long hot Summers of youth were golden
And power was a billowing sail
And I would have had the time to love you
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back to the last time we met
When all I could see was the light in your eye
And the sides of your face were pale and wet
And deep inside I started to cry
And you didn't believe that I loved you
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
