Advance Guards Lyrics - Singles - Seals And Crofts

I used to look out from my window 

And see the tall grass in the wind 

Standing there just like advance guards 

Waiting for the battle to begin 

My mother used to be much younger 

She'd sing me soft, sweet lullabies 

I saw my fortress in the mountains 

Each time I looked into her eyes 

But now she's gone 

Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go 

Take me I just want to know what I used to know 

Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go 

Take me there, take me I just want to go 

My father's hair has turned to gray now 

I never stopped to ask him why 

And all the things that he once treasured 

I see them slowly drifting by 

And now I look out from my mountain 

And see the soldiers in the field 

It won't be long now 'til they have me 

This time advance guards are for real 

Come on, come on and 

Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go 

Take me I just want to know what I used to know 

Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go 

Take me there, take me I just want to go 

Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go 

Take me I just want to know what I used to know 

Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go 

Take me there, take me I just want to go 

Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go 

Take me I just want to know what I used to know 

Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go 

Take me there, take me I just want to go 

Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go 

Take me I just want to know what I used to know 

Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go 

Take me there, take me I just want to go
