Come Home

Winter winds now blow
scattering autumn leaves
You'll be back I know
still my heart grieves
I walk the empty street
in the wee hours of night
feeling lost and incomplete
without you nothing is right
I come home to the internet
sit staring at my screen
grateful that we ever met
frightened by what you mean
My whole world was changed
the day you stopped your car
my life totally rearranged
you're now my guiding star
All roads now lead to you
even though empty and bleak
with winds roaring through
making it impossible to speak
Our gentle beach now raped
by waves topped with foam
I fear that you've escaped
Darling, please come home
