Take that look of worry, I'm an ordinary man

They don't tell me nothing, so I find out all I can

There's a fire that's been burning right outside my door

I can't see, but I feel it, and it helps to keep me warm


So I, I don't mind,

no I, I don't mind


Seems so long I've been waiting, still don't know what for

There's no point in escaping, I don't worry anymore

I can't come out to find you, I don't like to go outside

They can turn off my feelings, like they're turning off the light


But I, I don't mind,

no I, I don't mind

Oh I, I don't mind, no I, I don't mind


So take, take me home,

'cos I don't remember,

take, take me home

'Cos I don't remember,

take, take me home, oh Lord


'Cos I've been a prisoner all my life, and I can see you


Take that look of worry, mine is an ordinary life

Working when it's daylight and sleeping when it's night

I have no far horizons, I don't wish upon no star

They don't think that I listen, ah but I know who they are


But I, I don't mind,

no I, I don't mind

Oh I, I don't mind,

no I, I don't mind


So take, take me home,

'Cos I don't remember, take, take me home

'Cos I don't remember, take, take me home

'Cos I don't remember, take, take me home, oh Lord


Well I've been a prisoner all my life, and I can see you


But I don't remember - take, take me home

'cos I don't remember - take, take me home...
