Can't Take You With Me

I can’t take you with me where I’m goin'
If in me there’s some new love that has grown
So now I’ll leave behind all that once was mine
'Cause I can’t take you with me where I’m goin'
I can’t take you with me, and that’s for certain
I’m anchored to some heavy red stage curtain
If I should hear you sing
Those words would just make me sting
So I can’t take you with me, and that’s for certain
I can’t take you with me, and now I know it
Though the love was in me, I did not show it
And I found in Berlin who I swore might be my twin
Taken from me without me ever knowin'
You can’t take me with you where you’re goin'
You got no intentions of ever slowin'
My book of babies' names only does family flames
I dreamt we had a boy and named him Owen
