I can't take you with me where I'm going
In me there's a new love that has growing
So now I leave behind all that once was mine
I can't take you with me where I'm going

I can't take you with me, that's for certain
Anchored to some heavy red stage curtain
If I should hear you sing
Those words would just make me sting
I can't take you with me, that's for certain

I can't take you with me now I know it
Though the love was in me I did not show it
I found in Berlin who I swore might be my twin
Taken from me without me ever knowing

You can't take me with you where you're going
You've got no intentions of ever slowing
My book of baby's names
Only does family flames
I dreamt we had a boy and named him Owen
