Verse

I was born on a tightrope, bright with hope and oblivious

I could not keep my eyes closed, now I know we are hideous

grinning from ear to ear...

Chorus

Take me away from here like you said

And I will be grateful with what I have left

Dance in the aisle for me and hold out your hand

And take me away my dear

Verse 2

I grew up in a lifeboat tied to shore by the winter wind

I was made to be set afloat not star of the show ever glittering

in center ring, not a clue...

Chorus

Take me away from here like you said

And I will be grateful with what I have left

Dance in the aisle for me and hold out your hand

And take me away my dear

Verse 3

I am not at the end though, I wont go at the peak or near

I will die in a foxhole, arm to shoulder with atheist

praying just, lord not here...

Chorus

Take me away from here like you said

And I will be grateful with what I have left

Dance in the aisle for me and hold out your hand

And take me away my dear
