Dear John - You take my troubles away

And so now we begin
Calling on the fortunate son
Stand tall taking everything in
Gliding with the feathers you've won
I can't live dreaming of a future alone
Hold tight please, don't let the memory go

You take my troubles away
You take my sirens away
You keep my sorrows at bay
Take it all, take it all away
You take my running away
You take my battles away
You take my breath away
Take it all, take it all away

Old words when there's so much to tell
And I don't know when I'll be there again
In life when you're driven away
Will you recognize the one who returns?
Sweet one, the beauty that you are in the dawn
Dear love, all I ask is that you hold on

You take my troubles away
You take my sirens away
You keep my sorrows at bay
Take it all, take it all away
You take my running away
You take my battles away
You take my breath away
Take it all, take it all away

You take my running away
You take my battles away
You take my breath away
Take it all, take it all away

Take it all, take it all away
Take it all, take it all away
Take it all, take it all away
Take it all, take it all
