Will I make a grand mistakeAnd then come crawling back to you?Is it more than you can takeThat I’m not one, but two?

Take Me – Dale Beck (Future Daze)

TAKE ME Take me to the place, where we sat in the sun with a fun picnic… Where we smoked joints like the old days, Where we knew love like heaven… And you were heaven sent. And I, the immortal eye, Found Nirvana. Take me to the time, Where I sat with a book AndContinue reading “Take Me – Dale Beck (Future Daze)”
