"Take Me" lyrics - GENTLE GIANT

Smooth-talkin', slow-walkin' tell no lie
Cool is the fool with the eagle eye
Spending my time
Drunk and living fast
Nobody knows what lies in my past.
I'm lookin' back
My life is cryin' out
What did I do
What was I all about?

(*) OH, take me
(*) Save me from my misery
(*) OH, take me
(*) I want to be free
(*) OH, take me
(*) Take my hand and help me on
(*) OH, take me
(*) I will soon be gone

Good-timin', all-nightin' in the shade
No thinkin' nobody's had it made
Stole no control on my evil hands.
I tossed a coin blind to where it lands.
My how the time flies
It just passes by.
I turned around
It looked me in the eye.

(*) REPEAT.....

My how the time flies
It just passes by.
I turned around
It looked me in the eye.

(*) REPEAT.....
