Take My Place

Please make me cry, wring me out to dry

Make me feel something from one of your silver lies

For I'm leaving today

And I want these tears still hot on my face

Before I break for day

And tell me, tell me the stories

About how I hurt you so now, how I made you grow

Don't let me be forgotten in life's cold shadow

For I'm leaving today

And I want to remember your face

Before I break for day

And please, please don't tell me not to go

For I just might listen and leave my shoes in the road

My feet a heavy load

For I must go, this you have known

That I must follow

And please, please don't tell me not to go

For I just might listen and leave my shoes in the road

My feet a heavy load

For I must go, this you have known

That I must follow

Please make me cry, give me your blues like the sun gives the sky

Shelter me the love of your arms, enough for the coming miles

For I'm leaving today

Forever caught in this chase

Of the day I take my place
