Your Voice Stopped Sounding Like Home Today

Your voice stopped sounding like home today.
I'm not sure which of us has grown away,
But when I called you on the phone today
I realized that something in your tone has changed.

The warmth has left without a trace
As if it has gone to another place,
Just like you did when you left me alone.
Oh, your voice no longer sounds like home.

It used to be full of honey, thick and sweet.
It raised my spirits beyond mountain peaks.
Perhaps your pipes have sprung a leak,
Now I hear none of that when you speak.

I would rather listen to a rusty creak
Or even a mean old crone.
To hear you now just makes me weak.
Why do you not sound like home?

Should I continue to listen?
I know it brings you pleasure.
Or should I start fishing?
Search for a new treasure.

I wish I didn't know the answer.
I wish I didn't have to go.
But now you are a cancer.
I wish you were my home.
