Take me back...
                              - an ode to home..


The rolling hills of green, the gentle rains.
The rock walls standing strong.
The smell of the sea on the wind as it washes over me.
Take me back, please I beg thee..

The lilt on everyones lips.
The songs sung with passion and pride.
The taste of home so far from me.
take me back, please I beg thee..

The strength of family lost here.
The nights cold and lifeless.
The sights of home nowhere to be found.
take me back, please I beg thee..

The pain seems so much stronger here.
The nights so much longer.
The loneliness so much harder.
take me back, please I beg of thee..

take me back to the one I love.. I miss her emerald heart..
I know she would welcome me home.. take me back..
I beg of thee...
