I was listening to the ocean, I saw a face in the sand But when I picked it up, then it vanished away from my hands Darling, I had a dream I was seven, climbing my way in a tree I saw a piece of heaven, waiting impatient for me Darling, and I was running far away, would I run off the world someday? Nobody knows, nobody knows I was dancing in the rain, I felt alive and I can't complain But don't take me home, take me home where I belong I got no other place to go Don't take me home, take me home where I belong I can't take it anymore I was painting a picture, the picture was a painting of you And for a moment I thought you were here, but then again it wasn't true Darling, and all this time I have been lying Oh, lying in secret to myself I've been putting sorrow on the farthest place on my shelf And I was running far away, would I run off the world someday? Nobody knows, nobody knows And I was dancing in the rain, I felt alive and I can't complain But don't take me home, take me home where I belong I got no other place to go Don't take me home, take me home where I belong I got no other place to go Don't take me home, take me home where I belong I can't take it anymore But I kept running for a soft place to fall And I kept running for a soft place to fall And I was running far away, would I run off the world someday? But don't take me home, take me home where I belong I got no other place to go Don't take me home, take me home where I belong I got no other place to go Don't take me home, home where I belong No, no, no Don't take me home, home where I belong I can't take it anymore
