take this restless hobo's heart
take this dreamer without dreams
take the sadness with the love
take the love with everything
like you've stood through it all
you're still standing here today
and i've known it all along
you'll be with me all the way
though the times have been hard
and the pleasures quickly gone
but as we passed trough the shadows baby
you kept shining on and on
like a river overflowing
you have carried me away
and it's your love that you keep showing
you'll be with me all the way
take this message to my mother
say her rambling boy is home
won't you tell her to be happy now
i'll no longer be alone
take the pictures she will give you
from a time so far away
and won't you tell her as you're leaving
(tell her)
you'll be with me all the way
