Take that look of worry, I'm an ordinary man

They don't tell me nothing, so I'm finding out all I can

There's a fire that's been burning right outside my door

I can't see, but I feel it, and it helps to keep me warm



So I, I don't mind, oh I, I don't mind



Seems so long I've been waiting, and I still don't know what for

There ain't no point in escaping, no I don't worry anymore

I can't come out to find you, I don't like to go outside

They can turn off my feelings like they're turning off the light



But I, I don't mind, oh I, I don't mind

Oh I tell you I don't mind, oh I, I tell you I don't mind



So take, take me home, 'cos I don't remember, take, take me home

'Cos I don't remember, take, take me home, oh Lord



'Cos I've been a prisoner all my life, and I can see you



Take that look of worry, mine is an ordinary life

Working when it's daylight and sleeping when it's night

I have no far horizons, I don't wish upon no star

They don't think that I listen, ah but I know who they are



But I, I tell you I don't mind, oh I, I tell you I don't mind

Oh I, I tell you that I do not mind, oh I, I don't mind



So take, take me home, 'cos I don't remember, take, take me home

'Cos I don't remember, take, take me home

'Cos I don't remember, take, take me home, oh Lord



But I've been a prisoner all my life, and I can see you

But I don't remember - take, take me home



You know, 'cos I don't remember - take, take me home (repeats)



Take me home (take me home) (repeats)



Just take me home, take me home
