Take Me Back

[Verse 1]

I've been walking by the river

I've been walking down by the water

I've been walking down by the river

I've been feeling so sad and blue

I've been thinking, I've been thinking

I've been thinking, I've been thinking

I've been thinking, I've been thinking

Ah, there's so much suffering

And it's too much confusion

Too much, too much confusion in the world

[Verse 2]

Take me back, take me back, take me back

Take me way back, take me way back, take me way back

Take me way back, take me way back, take me way back

Take me way back, take me way back (Ah)

Take me way, way, way, way, way, way, way back (Ha)

Help me un— help me understand

Take me, do you remember the time darlin'

When everything made more sense in the world? (Yeah)

Oh, I remember, I remember when life made more sense

Ah, ah, take me back, take me back, take me back, take me back

Take me back, take me back, take me back, take me back

Take me back, woah, to when the world made more sense

Well, there's too much suffering and confusion

And I'm walking down by the river

Oh, let me understand religion

[Verse 3]

Way, way back, way back

When you walked in a green field, in a green meadow

Down an avenue of trees

On a, on a golden summer

And the sky was blue

And you didn't have no worries

You didn't have no care

You were walking in a green field, in a meadow

Through the buttercups, in the summertime

And you looked way out over, way out

Way out over the city and the water

And it feels so good, and it feels so good

And you keep on walking

And the music on the radio, and the music on the radio

Baby, has so much soul, has so much soul

And you listen in the night time

When it was still and quiet

And you looked out on the water and the big ships

And the big boats came on sailing by, by, by, by

You felt so good, and I felt so good

I felt I wanna blow my harmonica

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 4]

Take me back there, take me way back

Take me back, take me back, take me back

Take me way, way, way back, way back

To when, when I understood

When I understood the light

When I understood the light

In the golden afternoon, in the golden afternoon

In the golden afternoon, in the golden afternoon

In the golden afternoons when we sat and listened to Sonny Boy blow

In the golden afternoon

When we sat and let Sonny Boy blow, blow his harp

Take me back, take me back, take me back

Take me way, way, way, way, way, way, way back

To when I, when I understood

When I understood, yeah

Oh, ah, take me way back to when, when, when, when, when, when

When, when, when, when, when, when

When I was walking down the, walking down the street

And, it didn't matter

'Cause everything felt, everything felt, everything felt

Everything felt, everything felt, everything felt

Everything felt, everything felt, everything felt

Everything felt so right (Ha) and so good

Everything felt so right and so good

Everything felt so right and so good

Everything felt so right and so good, ah

Everything felt so right and so good

Everything felt so right and so good, so good

[Outro]

In the eternal now

In the eternal moment

In the eternal now

In the eternal moment

In the eternal now

Everything felt so good, so good, so good, so good, so good

And so right, so right, so right, just

So good, and so right, and so right, in the eternal

In the eternal moment

In the eternal moment

In the eternal moment

In the eternal moment

When you lived, when you lived

When you lived in the light

When you lived in the grace

In the grace, in grace

When you lived in the light

In the light, in the grace

And the blessing
