Songtexte: Seals And Crofts. Advance Guards.

I used to look out from my window
And see the tall grass in the wind
Standing there just like advance guards
Waiting for the battle to begin

My mother used to be much younger
She'd sing me soft, sweet lullabies
I saw my fortress in the mountains
Each time I looked into her eyes

But now she's gone
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go
Take me I just want to know what I used to know
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go
Take me there, take me I just want to go

My father's hair has turned to gray now
I never stopped to ask him why
And all the things that he once treasured
I see them slowly drifting by

And now I look out from my mountain
And see the soldiers in the field
It won't be long now 'til they have me
This time advance guards are for real

Come on, come on and
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go
Take me I just want to know what I used to know
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go
Take me there, take me I just want to go

Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go
Take me I just want to know what I used to know
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go
Take me there, take me I just want to go

Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go
Take me I just want to know what I used to know
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go
Take me there, take me I just want to go

Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go
Take me I just want to know what I used to know
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go
Take me there, take me I just want to go
