Pull me out, lover, bring me home,
Take me to our places, where I didn't feel alone
Beside my hopes, where they could subtly shine,
Now a thousand raindrops on this split white line.
With your tender hands still climbing up and around my spine,
Lover, bring me home.
I can take my baggage and leave this by the porch,
If it's dark where I' going, will you place a torch
Above the case with our names printed on the back.
Love, if you're not coming, at least help me pack,
Lift my anger and your silence from around my neck
And leave this by the porch.
These roads breed ice in hopeless summers, I'm headed where the sky's clear,
And, recalling how you calmed me when I felt the fear,
Our light blurs, then nothing, now I'm dancing with eternal ghost,
The spirit of the days we shared, the days I've loved the most.
Let it thaw; the coldness of the last post,
I'm headed where the sky's clear.
