Far Away From Home

(Anita Lipnicka)

 

Far away from home

In an unfamiliar place

Under the sky of unfamiliar stars

I dip the day in a cup of tea

And I wait for the night to come

 

Through the wall

I can hear a quiet “Good night”

From a husband to his wife

 

I look out the window

It’s raining again

There’s a lonely cat out there

That someone wanted no more

 

Somewhere a bell is ringing

Three times

Slowly the dusk is coming

The last star is fading

 

And I can’t sleep…

 

I sail the ship of my pillows

To the island of tenderness

I am missing you…

 

I run across the sky

To meet you and your warm lips

Somewhere in my dream
