Green Papaya Lyrics

My face turns to gold, hoping to find my way home
This place I don't know, no yellow brick road to follow
This river of doubt, help me to swim my way out
I'm greedy with love, but my hunger to give is strong enough, mmh

Take me home, let's make real love, real love
Take me home, let's make real love, real love
Take me home, let's make real love, real love
Take me out of the blue

Our hearts overgrown, longing for peace of our own
Found Heaven in you, promise to be pure and true
Still mountains to climb, we will survive, still got time
My partner-in-crime, hoping you'll love me 'til it dies

Take me home, let's make real love, real love
Take me home, let's make real love, real love
Take me home, let's make real love, real love
Take me out of the blue

My face turns to gold, hoping to find my way home
This place I don't know, no yellow brick road to follow

Oh, ohh, ohh, oh
Ohh-oh, ohh-oh, oh, oh, mmh

Take me home, let's make real love, real love
Take me home, let's make real love, real love
Take me home, let's make real love, real love

Take me home, let's make real love, real love (real love)
Take me home, let's make real love, real love

Ohh, take me out of the blue
