There’s No Place

i’ll give you some hours of my days
to shorten the time until I see you again
to lengthen your time with loved ones

go back gently to the place you come from
there’s no place like home
remember gently the place we come from
there’s no place like the place where love is born

your laughter is the soundtrack
to a movie about happiness
and i am auditioning for the lead role
the only time without stage fright

fistfuls of love and emotion
i’ll shove into cellular waves
to gently lap against your heart
timed the same as its beat

hold on and travel well
journeys within a journey
we can make it last
confidence steadfast

no matter where you go
you are never far from
my heart

follow the road of tenderness
get back to me
get back to us
for our love waits

enduringly

patiently

eternally
