Lyrics Thea Gilmore

Thea Gilmore

Take Me Home

I came in like a jackdaw

On the drift of an outlaw

I heard there's a warrant out for my arrest

Among the cute little puritans

The ghosts and the hooligans

All tying nooses I'm willing to bet

But I'm older now and braver

The wise imitator

You don't know yet but you're gonna

Take me home

I've got the epilogue notes

In the folds of my coat

A new deck of cards and the threads of your dream

Between the merry-go-round

And the soldiers of sound

I'm here holding my own Halloween

Cos I'm older now and braver

The wise imitator

You don't know yet but you're gonna

Take me home

I said I'm older now and braver

The wise imitator

You don't know yet but you're gonna

Take me home

And I'm where the smoke folds on the corner

Where the light is arching its back (take me home)

I'm where the oil is meeting the water

And the train's screeching down the track (take me home)
