Take me, take me to your darkest room Close every window and bolt every door The very first moment I heard your voice I'd be in darkness no more Take me to your most barren desert A thousand miles from the nearest sea The very moment I saw your smile It would be like heaven to me There's not any mountain to rugged to climb No desert too barren to cross Darlin', if you would just show a sign Of love, I could bear with all loss Take me to Siberia And the coldest weather of the winter time And it would be just like spring in California As long as I knew you were mine Yes, it would be just like spring in California As long as I knew you were mine Take me, take me
