woke up alone

in a strange bed

lookin' around

shakin' my head

pulled my boots on

went downstairs

she was sitting

in one of the chairs



can we go home now

was what I said

she looked at me

and said we

are home



matter with you

I nearly forgot

the difference between

what is and what's not

plenty of sky

castles of sand

sea 'n' stars

busted my hand



can we go home now

I've had enough

she looked at me

and said TOUGH LOVE SUCKS



watchin' tv

the whole day through

bough bending low

with nothin' to do

sun gone down

the railroad track

breathing a cry

when she comes back



can we go home now

I wanna go home

she looked away

and said please

stay
