Bowie (Take Me Away)
Etch your heart into the summer sky
tell me things until I die
your voice is a singer's dream
so leave me breathing deep
with tears of happiness
i'll gladly cry
I'll sing your songs
and chase the sun
the 60's are gone
but this love is enough
to take me away
so take me away
from here
I was born on a fire's day
enchanted by heroes
by passion and flames
love to me is just a step I take
to feel the wind on my face
so take me away,
away away away
from here
I'll sing your songs
and chase the sun
the 60's are gone
but this love is enough
to take me away
so take me away
from here
I'm too young
to know your colors
but I see every shade
that fades into the air
and it's beautiful..
so beautiful
and I'm too young
to understand
the anger I tame
the temper I have
but my heart calms
and my feral spirit rests
when I hear your voice
inside my head
So take me away
take me away from here
tell me things until I die
your voice is a singer's dream
so leave me breathing deep
with tears of happiness
i'll gladly cry
I'll sing your songs
and chase the sun
the 60's are gone
but this love is enough
to take me away
so take me away
from here
I was born on a fire's day
enchanted by heroes
by passion and flames
love to me is just a step I take
to feel the wind on my face
so take me away,
away away away
from here
I'll sing your songs
and chase the sun
the 60's are gone
but this love is enough
to take me away
so take me away
from here
I'm too young
to know your colors
but I see every shade
that fades into the air
and it's beautiful..
so beautiful
and I'm too young
to understand
the anger I tame
the temper I have
but my heart calms
and my feral spirit rests
when I hear your voice
inside my head
So take me away
take me away from here

Author's Note
A tribute to David Bowie who i had a random dream about last night and knew little about aside from watching the Labyrinth over and over since I was a kid.

He was and will always remain such a legend! I could honestly feel your admiration for him. I wasn't a teenager through the 60's, so basically had to watch it through my window; however, the 70's wasn't far behind it; there were plenty of remnants to enjoy.
