Gregory Porter about Take Me To The Alley in his performance at his tiny desk-concert:
Take Me To The Alley is about those darker places, those backstreets, the forgotten places. The alley, and how we treat the people that are in the alley and how we think of them.
[Verse]
Well they build their houses in preparation for the king
And they line the sidewalks
With every sort of shiny thing
They will be surprised
When they hear him say
[Chorus 1]
Take me to the alley
Take me to the afflicted ones
Take me to the lonely ones
That somehow lost their way
[Chorus 2]
Let them hear me say
I am your friend
Come to my table
Rest here in my garden
You will have a pardon
[Chorus 1]
Take me to the alley
Take me to the afflicted ones
Take me to the lonely ones
That somehow lost their way
[Chorus 2]
Let them hear me say
I am your friend
Come to my table
Rest here in my garden
You will have a pardon
[Trumpet Solo]
[Bridge]
They will be surprised
When they hear him say
[Chorus 1]
Take me to the alley
Take me to the afflicted ones
Take me to the lonely ones
That somehow lost their way
[Chorus 2]
Let them hear me say
I am your friend
Come to my table
Rest here in my garden
You will have a pardon
[Outro]
You will have a pardon
Take me to the alley
Take me to the afflicted ones
Take me,take me ,take me ,take me ,take me
