The Land of Milk and Honey

The Vogues



Yes its true for most of my life I spoke devil

And I did my best to dodge anything that looked at all like work

I was prone to standing on corners smokin?cigarettes

and talkin?about anything I didnt know

Oh, how I needed to go



Please take me to the land of milk and honey

To the land of love and sunshine

To the land of milk and honey, Please take me



Time passed and I got a little older

Takin?on trouble just a little bit harder and a little bit bolder

I was thinkin?colder, fightin? lyin? cheatin?& cryin? I gave up

Givin?up the voices of evil that were pullin?me down

You know, I was givin?up ground



Please take me to the land of milk and honey

To the land of love and sunshine

To the land of milk and honey, Please take me



Then it came and it sounded like thunder

Shot of light in the dark of the night and you were really there

Tellin?me that you care, your warm love took away the cold

And were you walked the cobblestones turned to gold

And when you touch my hair you know take me there



Please take me to the land of milk and honey

To the land of love and sunshine

To the land of milk and honey, Please take me
