Janet Devlin - Take Me Home

They paved the way to heaven
Through cobblestones and mist and expect you to be alright
With your hand tucked in a fist

But the fighting man can’t win no more
Yeah the blood was never spilled
And they’ll take you to the promise land
If you promise not to get killed

So lord, have mercy on our souls
We lost our way many years ago

So take me home
To the Emerald Isle I know
Oh take me back
to the banter and the craic
Oh set me free from the city streets and greed
And get me out of London Town
Cause London ain’t for me

They’ll take away my freedom
But you’ll never rob my pride
Cause we’re living in a system where
You’re worth more dead than you are alive

So lord, have mercy on our souls
We lost our way many years ago

So take me home
To the Emerald Isle I know
Oh take me back
to the banter and the craic
Oh set me free from the city streets and greed
And get me out of London Town
Cause London ain’t for me...
