Come Home

I've not seen a night like this before, Not one star is making its debut; It's as though Heaven has shuttered its door To conceal our anguish from its view Our love now sails seas of turbulence, Waves of tears threaten to sink our skiff; Once, warm exchanges when moments were tense, Veered us away from each treacherous cliff In darkest hours, our love gave us strength To weave all our woes into a song; And in my arms you fell asleep at length - Tell me, is this not where you belong? Love's golden threads gently bound our hearts, Breaking when a weakened link was strained; My heart shattered into a thousand parts, Scattering when it became unchained Gather these frail fragments in your hands Lest the winds of Time blow them away; Don't let them sink into the shifting sands, Stranded on the Shores of Yesterday Place Love's golden threads upon the loom, Weave your magic -let the shuttles fly! Heaven will rejoice seeing our love abloom, Freeing the stars to dance across the sky I've set the tea kettle to boiling, In the windows, candles brightly burn; While those stormy clouds are fiercely roiling, I'll watch at the door for your return The logs on the hearth sputter and hiss, This raging storm seems unabating, I need the calm of your arms and your kiss, Please, my darling, come home.....I'm waiting
