Home Thoughts From Abroad

专辑：Some Of My Best Friends Are Songs

作曲 : Clifford T Ward

I could be a millionaire

if I have the money

I could own a mansion

No I don't think I'd like that

I might write a song that makes you laugh

now that would be funny

you could tell your friends in England

you'd like that

but now I've chosen areoplanes and boats to come between us

a line or two on paper wouldn't go amiss

how was Worcestershire?

is it still the same between us

do you still use the television

to send you fast asleep?

can you last another week?

does the cistern still leak?

or have you found the man to mend it?

oh and by the way,

how is your broken heart?

is that mended too?

I miss you

I really do

I've been reading Browning,Keats and William Wordsworh

and they all seem to be saying the same thing for me

well I like the words they use

I like the way they used them

you know, "home thoughts from abroad" is such a beautiful poem

and I know how Robert Browning must have feared

because I'm feeling the same way about you

wondering what you are doing

and if you need some help

do I still occupy your mind?

am I being so unkind?

do you find it very lonely?

or have you found someone to laugh with?

oh and by the way,

are you laughing now?

cuz I'm not

I miss you

I really do.
