Lyrics

Katie told me
She wouldn't lie
Sat across from me
And looked me in the eye
You've knocked around these walls
For close on thirty years
built them high, built them wide
a castle to your fears.

As I turned and met her gaze
my smile ran away
she knew me, she knew me oh so well
It's not that I can't see the things
I've done along the way
I can't change the way I felt

Katie told me
She wouldn't lie (she said)
It's like a bedtime tale
A story for a child
Hear the words, they fall like rain
the past is washed away
Forever is a die that's cast,
But you can change today.

I held my glass up to the light
And turned it in my hand
Is it as she said?
It's not the kind of thing you see,
That happens all the time.
is it in my head?
Katie take me home.
It isn't just a place, you see
Katie take me home.
Katie set me free

Katie told me
with a sigh
take those walls you built
leave them far behind
From caves of stone to telephones
a blinking of your eyes
change won't come to those who wait
that's always been a lie
I can't say I knew for sure
what she said was true
Maybe, it's time to take a chance.
the empty glasses sang a tune
That I already knew
So, Katie - can I have this dance?

Katie take me home.
It isn't just a place, you see
Katie take me home.
Katie set me free

Katie take me home.
It isn't just a place, you see
Katie take me home.
Katie set me free
Katie set me free.
