World Away From Me

I've been keeping on the run

I've been traveling with the sun

I've been singing all my life and getting by

Got to keep up with what's going on

In this place I've been so long

And I guess I'll just keep singing all my life

And it's so good to come home

To a woman all alone

Forgetting how hnd loneliness can be

She will take me from this world

Then she'll gently take the world away from me

I'll be coming home at night

While the kids are sleeping tight

She'll be lit by firelight and looking fine

And the kids jump out of bed

Hello Daddy, what did you get

Did you think of anything on down the line

She'll be talking with her smile

Saying, honey, wait awhile

The kids have missed you, soon they'll be asleep

She will take me from this world

Then she'll gently take the world away from me

Oh the prophets and the sages

And the wise men through the ages

All that's written down on pages from above

Just can't adequately describe

What I'm feeling here inside

It's just useless to be living without love

And I'll take her by her hand

Just a woman and a man

Without trying to understand what we should be

She will take me from this world

Then she'll gently take the world away from me
