Letter From Home

Hey, there..
Tell me what's going on
It's hard for me to feel you when you're far away.
You know, I worry...
Are you sad or all alone again?
I would do anything just to know - are you happy
Where you are?
I would do anything to be there when you need me
And hold you close
And to kiss your hair
Sit on your bed
Now count to three
Open your eyes... It's me.

Hey, there...
Everyone says "hello"
I try to keep them posted on your whereabouts
But all they manage is to be polite
And send regards.
I want to scream and shout
Do you know there's a crater in my heart?
I want to scream and shout
Do you know I've perfected the painful art
of an empty space
Sit on my bed
Pick up the phone
Hear your voice say...

I'm home.
