Jim Jackson - Take Me There

from The Cowichan Series by Jim Jackson & Josephine LoRe

/

about

inspired by "Missing: Woman"

lyrics

Take Me There
I could step off this path, I could walk in the woods
Using threads of my hair as passage

I could breathe in the earth, breathe out the song of the birds
Unravel the strands of your message

I could deepen with light and fade into the night
Letting drop the veils of my vestige

Oh, won’t you take me there
Where the summer air
Is dancing in your hair

Oh, won’t you take me there
Take me down to where
I don’t need to care

I could cast them all off to the mud and the moss
I could burn to the bone the bother

I could leave them behind and flee for what I could find
Abandon my perfect other

I could dance with the dead to the songs in my head
I could find what they did to my father

Oh, won’t you take me there
Where the summer air
Is dancing in your hair

Oh, won’t you take me there
Take me down to where
I don’t need to care

I could bang at the breeze and bring the girls to their knees
I could let my cord uncoil

I could slice at my arms and mix by blood with alarm
I bring my body to boil

I could slip into sleep and watch the women all weep
As I’m taken again to soil

Oh, won’t you take me there
Where the summer air
Is dancing in your hair

Oh, won’t you take me there
Take me down to where
I don’t need to care
