From the recording In the Winterlight
Bruce Mello - guitar, vocal
Stan Poplin - acoustic bass
Jim Norris - percussion
Kevin DiNoto - steel drum, shaker
Home is the place we're the most comfortable, the place where we can be ourselves and this song is about how, when we're get caught up in the busyness of life and we're around people that just don't understand us, we long to go home.
Lyrics
Take Me Back Home
Needless distractions
Differing factions
Thoughtless reactions, they complicate
Mind changers
Hidden dangers
Total strangers, I just can’t relate
Take me back, take me back home
Friendly liars
Puttin’ out fires
Time expires and I feel left out
They say, “Where ya goin’?”
Your heart is showin’”
Never knowin’ what it’s all about
Take me back, take me back home
Sad and complainin’
It’s been rainin’
Gone insane and I’m all alone
Tried to read but
Drank some tea but
What I need is to get back home
Take me back home
