Take me along to a place i remember

Where all of my friends - now they're gone forever

How they love the sweet life



I'm destined to run with the holy

I must wait

Dying inside ever slowly

I'll be on my way



I saw the flame of the candle burning down so low

I danced with my friends 'til they had to go

My spirit stayed -give me no relief

My spirit stayed -gave me no release

How they loved the sweet life



I'm destined to run with the holy

I must wait

Dying inside ever slowly

I'll be on my way



Sitting alone in a darkened room

Trail of smoke and warn out mind

Mister depression overstayed his welcome

Something inside took me away



Take me along to a place i remember

All of my friends -thought i knew them better

How they loved the sweet life
