A Place to Call Home

I see the sad stories that show through your eyes.
I’ve been there before my sweet darling.
The thoughts of your aching have been here before.
But you feel it so deeply you do.

Your heart is a place where the rain never stops.
But you pick up the pieces and sing to tree tops.
You smile for others and jump over the moon.
But you hope to get rest real soon.

You wish there was time to daydream.
To feel the love that makes you gleam.
All you've ever wanted was love that felt right.
But it's only ever lasted through the night.

There's a place where you go when you're all alone.
Where nobody sees and thinks is unreal.
A space far away that you've always called home.
Beyond the green grass and trees and the hill.

In your minds eye you see butterflies.
Flowers that bloom all year long.
The babies are born with laughter not cries.
Blue skies every day and birds singing songs.

I miss that place where the leaves turn colors.
The love is so pure and true.
We just care for each other.
Just exploring the world, me and you.
