I will take care of you

Come back.

Take the smell of the earth

in you

and come home

Tunnels and lights and smoke

and downtown crossings

cold restrooms

and heavy luggage

ever speaking radios

hurried signatures

leave everything behind

and come home

I will welcome you, and I

will run my fingers through your hair, and I

I will welcome you into this silence

and I will take good care of you

oh Lord, such a lonely journey

so long

you can't remember your way home

stop taking pictures of the skies

follow the planes

and find me

because I'm yours to discover

sleep with me,

and stay awake forever
