You’re fed up, you can’t do it Close your eyes and I’ll talk you through it It’s too bad that your plan got red-tagged You’re leaving home with your heart in a handbag
I don’t know where they found you But I know they’d be lost without you Sanding at the gate with a tear in their eye As they wave goodbye
You’re tied up, you can’t make it Take your time ‘cause you can’t replace it You left home with a pack of old clothes You got stuck, that’s how this story goes
They clipped your wings and left you They locked the door and let you pull yourself apart with silent grief
But I could be Something special, something sane Something used, something plain I could take you away, I could take you away Take my hand, don’t be shy Please don’t beg, please don’t cry I could take you away, I could take you away tonight I can tell by the look in your eyes that you need saving And I can tell by the scars on your feet that your way needs paving
