Take Me Away

It used to be what I have seen in my head,
but overnight that memory's been erased instead,
whatever happened to the place we used to love?
for it is here for it is now, the pain is just much too rough.

This paradise that I speak as of late,
the water's blue the breeze is blowing overhead,
but then this moment when the water's went up high,
it wiped those tears and all those cries.

Take me away to a place called yesterday,
where the skies were plain and blue..
Take me away to a place called yesterday,
where your words still rang so true.

The threat is cleared, the damage has been rectified,
the wound is sealed, but the pain still lives on inside,
will this place ever be what it used to be?
it may look the part but the scar still remains in me.

Take me away to a place called yesterday,
where the skies were plain and blue..
Take me away to a place called yesterday,
where your words still rang so true.

These tears are shed for the ones that have been lost,
these tears are real for woe is what i see and all is was,
and now I yearn for life to start afresh and start anew,
how I hope this simple wish would just come true...

Take me away to a place called yesterday.....
