Take Me When You Go

Music and Lyrics by Alastair Moock ©1999 Moockshake Music

Take me when you go, don’t leave me behind
I don’t want to stay here with you swimming in my mind
I got thoughts enough to think, I’ve had drinks enough to drink
Time without you’s much too slow, take me with you when you go

And take me when you leave, I can’t stand to be alone
There’s nothing I hate worse than loving you by telephone
‘Cuz the TV’s not my friend and I’ve got no fax to send
Even music’s got no tone when you leave me all alone

Take me when you go ‘cuz there’s nothing here for me
I don’t want to stay here writing tearful poetry
I don’t want to think on you from a lonesome window view
‘Cuz there’s nothing I can see can bring you faster home to me
No, there’s nothing I can see can bring you faster home to me

So take me with you, friend, I’ll just ask you one more time
I know that you’re a woman who can make up your own mind
But I’ve got one small request and I hope you won’t say no
‘Cuz I think it’s for the best — take me with you when you go
Take me with you when you go
