Somebody Take Me Home

I have dreamed upon your floor
 That I found the love I lost
 I have rested on the rocks
 Of rivers I had to cross
 I've been fed by all my friends
 Though I've already wept a creek
 I've learned many a secret handshake
 And I've held many a weary soul to sleep
 Somebody take me home
 While I still believe
 While the pines are still the pines
 And there's something left of me
 I have gambled with the years
 Held a few hands of tenderness
 I was king once for a day
 Before the queen laid me to rest
 I've been sober on Bourbon Street
 Wasted on my wedding day
 I've seen the eyes of my love
 When there was nothing left to say
 Somebody take me home
 While I still believe
 While the pines are still the pines
 And there's something left of me
 I have danced with gypsy girls
 Who sang a spell into my ear
 I've seen every United State
 And I have rocked a newborn babe
 I built fires to burn through the night
 Had to put out some that burn too bright
 Swam in the bayou while drinking rum
 I've waited on saviors who didn't come
 Somebody take me home
 While I still believe
 While the pines are still the pines
 And there's something left of me
