Take Me Away Lyrics - Jim White

That's how they found him... 

he was howling at the moon. 

Sitting right there on the railway tracks 

With the train a'coming. 

There was a string of wild flowers 

draped around his collar. 

And when he saw the men were coming for him, 

well he began to holler. 

He cried: 

"TAKE ME AWAY! TAKE ME AWAY!" 

But the men cold not be sure 

if he was talking to them, 

or talking to the oncoming train.

His mama she watched religion on the TV 

each day from dawn to dusk. 

And at night when she'd hear him howling, 

well, she'd cry out to Jesus. 

For years she begged the sweet redeemer 

to heal her crazy son. 

Until finally she just gave up on miracles 

and called the men to come. 

She told them: 

"Take him away. Take my son away! 

cause after 20 long years 

I've simply run out prayers to pray."

But as he stood to fight the men, 

from the other side of the railway bed, 

he thought he heard the calling voice 

of an old friend he thought long dead. 

But when he turned away from the men 

he found it was a stranger calling him 

And as if he knew that man, 

he smiled and raised his hand 

as he stepped into the golden sun 

of the headlight of the oncoming train. 

And as he did he locked eyes with that stranger 

and cried out one last time. 

He cried, 

"TAKE ME AWAY! TAKE ME AWAY!" 

And to this day, in this little town, 

not a soul knows what he was trying to say 

all them years of shouting take me away. 

No, no one knows what he was trying to say 

or who that stranger was.
