Don’t Take Me Back

Don’t Take Me Back

copyright Kristen Grainger 2023

Twilight is a woman too long in leaving
Darkness hard upon her heels
And fear of falling stars
Keeps me in the bars
Late of an evening

Daylight is a refuge from a hard night together
Raising voices, slamming doors
Time will surely show
the devil that you know
is never better

Chorus
Don’t take me back
Don’t let me in
Don’t believe a word I say
When I’ll say anything
Don’t take me back
Don’t take me on
Stare me down, tell me to go and stay gone

Darkness is for dreaming, better dreams for better days
fragile as a broken string of pearls
Nothing can be done
but watch them one by one
roll away

Chorus

Bridge
Youth is a bumper car, beauty’s a thief
Time is a bitter old man
Shed that old skin and leave it behind
As soon as you possibly can

Chorus
