[Verse 1]
Oh, my dear, take that bird off your shoulder
And come on down from the tree
You've ruined your dress, it's all turned to rags
And there's raspberry blood on your knee
But to be such a woman
Yet such a child inside
Blow, you sweet storm
You no longer
Have to hide


[Chorus]
Take me away, Faye
Let me see you breakdown, oh oh oh oh
Take me away, Faye
Cut those straps right off of your gown
And take me away
Faye

[Post-Chorus]
Uh ah, uh uh uh uh uh ah
Uh ah, uh uh uh uh uh ah
Uh ah, uh uh uh uh uh ah
Oh oh, oh oh oh

[Verse 2]
Well, I lost your scent in the canyon
Heard your voice in the sky
When I finally found you, I was too alone to cry
So I burned the gates at your castle
In the fire light stood still
I was too tired to care when you
Slipped me a pill

[Verse 3]
So I wished on a blue star
Too far to hear
Echoes through the heavens
And fades from your ears
Rough hands could never hold you
Wild rivers always bend
And the snow always falls on a night
With no end

[Chorus]
So, take me away, Faye
Let me see you breakdown, oh oh oh oh
Take me away, Faye
Cut those straps right off of your gown
Take me away
Faye

[Outro]
Uh ah, uh uh uh uh uh ah
Uh ah, uh uh uh uh uh ah
Uh ah, uh uh uh uh uh ah
Uh ah, uh uh uh uh uh ah
Uh ah, uh uh uh uh uh ah
Uh ah, uh uh uh uh uh ah
Uh ah, uh uh uh uh uh ah
Oh oh, oh oh oh
And take me away
Faye
