Come home (Free verse) by phbiscuit
I don't know when but a day is gonna come,
When we save ourselves hundreds of years of dinner bills and bar tabs
And stay home
And we'll be happy
Eating our bowl of rice and thinking
Of the West Coast and all the times we've left without leaving.
Still I know you've been gone far too long.
Come home, and be happy
We'l never leave this house again
Come home, and be happy
I'll lock the doors and let no one in
Alone and by ourselves with the television off
We'll still be watching reruns
With every conversation passing
By and by we'll come upon a silent song
Sweet beyond the sweetest psalm
Then we'll know the nature of
The walls around us and the rug
Sinking in between our toes.
Listen and you will hear the room breath.
Come home, and be happy
We'll never leave this house again
Come home, and be happy
I'll lock the doors and let no one in
