TAKE YOU HOME Verse 1 There’s a young man with his face pressed to the window he was wavin’ at his brand new baby girl and when he saw her in the arms of his wife Mary he said “Hello, Molly welcome to the world” The first time that he held his little baby She grabbed his finger and wouldn’t let it go And he said “Molly, girl – I hate to break it to you but I’m your dad and I’ve come to take you home” Verse 2 30 years gone by when the good Lord took his Mary he died inside as he watched her slip away then he lost himself when he fell into a bottle a welcome refuge that helped to numb the pain On a rainy night she found him in a doorway just an old coat and Jim Beam against the cold and his eyes grew wide when he heard her call him "Daddy" and Molly said "I've come to take you home" Bridge Home is where the heart is – it’s where you’re safe and warm a place to lay your weary head – wrapped in loving arms And home is where the road will lead you – when you’re gone too long where a light is always shining – to show the way back home Verse 3 It was 23 years on in late September there’s an old man at the end of his road and Molly held his hand a little tighter ‘cause she didn’t want to let her daddy go She kissed his cheek and he said “I love you Molly” Then his breath grew slight and his heart began to slow Then he closed his eyes – and his last word was “Mary” His love had come to take him home © John McTague E: jpm5243@earthlink.net
