You Are My Home

As I write this late at night

Drowning in electric light,

In my heart but out of sight

You are sitting in the sun;

You, my dear beloved one,

Watching boys and having fun.

And our hearts are yearning so;

Mine is burning with a glow

Stronger than the stars we know.

Every day long roads I'll roam,

Spending half-lives on the phone

Till I hold you close, my home.
