Take It With Me

Matthew Perryman Jones - Take It With Me

Well the 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 going to take it with me

When I go

Long long ago

Now way back when

We lived in Coney Island

And ain't no good thing

Ever dies

I'm going to take it with me

When I go

Far far away a train whistle blows

Wherever you're going

Wherever you've been

Waving goodbye at the end of the day

You're up and you're over

And you're far away

And always for you

And forever yours

It felt just like the old days

We fell asleep on Beaula's porch

I'm going to take it with me

When I go

And all broken down

On the side of the road

I was never more alive or alone

I've worn the faces off

All the cards

I'm going to 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

When all that you're 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 woman

And in that woman

There's a heart I love

I'm going to take it with me

When I go

I'm going to take it with me

When I go
