Come Take Me Away

- originally written June 23, 2007 -

Oh, dear sweet angel of mine
Won't you please come take me away
Let's go to some place much more divine
Before it becomes too late and I begin to stray

This place where no one seems to understand
I can't possibly stay here for much longer
Reach out in the darkness, give me your hand
With your help I know my soul can be stronger

My world is crumbling all around me
I can see it as it turns to sand and dust
It's got me painfully down on my knees
And all this empty pain feels so unjust

To a place of honest beauty and peace
Where I can cry of release and not of grief
I know there is a place where pain will cease
I know it exists more than any kind of belief

If you take me their, I know I can be content
I won't need anything but your presence and affection
I know that is the way things were always meant
Together, in this place, we will achieve perfection
