Take Me Into Town - Stephen Kellogg

When the world gets silent let your love be a radar

When the city stops ringing, sound it out to me from where you are

As she walks by if I turn and stare, remember I no longer hear

And tell me there’s no love in there

When I’m far across the highway and I’m spoiled in the drink

Give to me integrity and will power to think

When she’s in my mind ask me to resign

And take away my rough design

When I’m desolate in love, take me into town

Say for me that honestly you know what’s got me town

If she tries to comfort me or save me from despair

Could you try to do it first to show me that you’re there?

I swore that I would never let anyone else in

Learning from my father, learning from within

I would like to do it better, better than before

Turning in my mind just like a soldier who is at war

When I’m beat and conquest seems to be a way to shine

Tell me how ridiculous it gets for those who walk that line

If she gets into my heart, tell her she can’t stay

And that it’s not okay cause you can’t live or love that way

When I’m desolate in love, take me in to town
