Take it with me Songtext

von Betty Buckley

Phone's off the hook
No one knows where we are;
It's a long time since I
Drank champagne.
The ocean is blue
As blue as your eyes--
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go
Old long since gone
Now way back when
We lived in Coney Island
Ain't no good thing
Ever dies
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go

Far, far away
A train whistle blows
Wherever you're goin'
Wherever you've been
Waving good bye
At the end of the day
You're up and you're over
And you're far away

Always for you, and
Forever yours
It felt just like the old days
We fell asleep on Beulah's porch
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go

All broken down
By the side of the road
I was never more alive
Or alone
I've worn the faces
Off all the cards
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go

Children are playing
At the end of the day
Strangers are singing
On our lawn
It's got to be more
Than flesh and bone
All that you loved
Is all you own

In a land there's a town
And in that town there's
A house
And in that house
There's a man
And in that man
There's a heart I love
I'm gonna take it
With me when I go.

Far, far away
A train whistle blows
Wherever you're goin'
Wherever you've been
Waving good bye
At the end of the day
You're up and you're over
And you're far away

In a land there's a town
And in that town there's
A house
And in that house
There's a man
And in that man
There's a heart I love
I'm gonna take it
With me
I'm gonna take it
With me
When I go.
