The Call For Home

i must go home now 
the sun is gone, I have had my fun 
in the arms of a thousand days before 
i must go home now 
where old men go to meet lovers 
that do not call again 
i shall go before the rain 
\how long since i left 
i can remember nothing 
because what is in nothing to remember 
it was all ideas in my head 
the only reality is my separation 
from the fire getting cold in my bones 
i must go home now 
\things are good here 
i like to watch the bird poise above the bud 
of flowers sipping sweet nectar 
in the glistening dawn. i must go home 
i love the sun, but i must let it go 
and give my heart a chance to go.
