Текст песни Take Me Back Home - Andy White

It's a hot night in Melbourne
And the Northcote girls are strolling
Singing in the street
I caught a breath of Europe there
A tablecloth and a broken chair
The smell of French pancakes
Hovering in the heat
Never believe I'm out of luck
Though this car's old and the gearstick stuck
But laughter's so hard to beat

Take me back
Take me right back
Take me back

Another cold night in Dublin
The country girls are drinking
Singing in the street
I caught a breath of home back there
With wedding bells and a flash of hair
And the churchyard gravestones
Right beneath their feet
I never believed I'd be able to drive
Right out of here to the opposite side
There's so much water in the way

Take me back
Take me right back

My best friend just wrote to me
He's living in the bower of poetry
Hitch-hiking his way across the USA
Well I found a photograph of us in 79
Having the very same teenager time
Never knew it would mean so much to me today
And it's not that I want to do it again
But geography has made a mess of my friends
Celebrate time slipping away

Take me back
Take me right back
Take me back
Take me right back

Take me back to where dreams exist
We never met I'd never been kissed
The Ice Queen never got in the way
I never believe we're out of time
'Cause if you lose it all
You still might find
Every day is Judgement Day
And the Northcote girls upon the street
And the pancakes cooking in the summertime heat
Are Dublin girls whatever you might say

Take me back
Take me right back
Take me back
Take me right back

Take me home
I really wanna go
Take me home
I really wanna go

I really gotta know
I really gotta go
I really wanna go
I really wanna know
I really gotta go
