The West Lyrics by Gunboat Johnson

Take Me Home

2009

Open up your heart to me
Let your eyes see what they see
I don’t care just what it means
We could all be kings and queens
Life is not that hard you know
Plant the seeds and watch them grow
Waving in a Scottish meade
I think I know just what you need
Let me help you
Find it, oh yeah
Call me back on the phone
Let’s hang out and smoke a bone
No time left for worrying
You’re the queen and I’m your king
Holding back my inhalation
Getting set for penetration
I am life on which I feed
I think I know just what you need
Let me help you
Find it, oh yeah
I’d love to fly to the west someday
If I find you, I just might stay
I’d love to sail on a ship for two
Sleep under the sea just me and you
Why are they following us so far out to sea?
Are they wondering how will we survive just you and me?
I am a man so strong and brave
I’ll fight them all into the grave
Save us from the skull and bones
Spare my life, save our souls
Where is your mind?
It’s hard to find
When all you see
Is so damn blurry
All concealed will be revealed
You must press on or your hope will be gone
Raise your hands up to the sky
At last I am free
I had to resort to mutiny
Raise your glass up for a toast to the scourge of the sea
They took my girl but left me
I will have to find her, oh yeah
I’d love to fly to the west someday
If I find you, I just might stay
I’d love to sail on a ship for two
Sleep under the sea just me and you
Now I have to go back home
Empty handed so alone
So much for my wandering
I came back with nothing
I sank my ship and burned it’s sail
I must not tell a soul my tale
I suppose I must concede I think I know just what I need
Where is my mind?
It’s hard to find
When all I see is so damn blurry
All concealed will be revealed
I must press on
Or my hope will be gone
