Take Me Home

(album: Random Elements - 2017)

Hoping to do better
The young man he left home
To search for somewhere he could
Achieve the right to roam
Looking out for angels
To guide him to the place
Where he could see who he could be
And be proud to show his face

And oh so alone
He gazed down at his phone
And said take me home

The night time is the right time
The sights the sounds the smells
People moving to a beat
Where all excitement dwells
The young man walks the city
Looking for a bed
From every hostel turned away
No where to lay his head

And oh so alone
He gazed down at his phone
And said take me home

He walks down to the river
To escape the winter's chill
He meets a friendly stranger
With too much time to kill
Who shows him to an archway
Where all the people sleep
Then says that everybody there
Has a tale to make you weep

And oh so alone
He gazed down at his phone
And said take me home
