Before You Go Home
Before you go home, Let me hug you, my love. Before you go home, Let me whisper a word. Before you go home, Give me a special touch. Before you go home, Spend a little time with me. Before you go home, Let me lift you into my arms. Before you go home, Let me cry against your heart. Before you go home, I have a special word for you. When you go home, Say hi to my people. Tell them I am coming too— Soon, I will knock at their door. Tell them you are loved, That you are a jewel to me, That you are my very life, That I beg them to give me you. Tell them stars kiss when I see your eyes, Tell them the moon and clouds embrace when we are together, Tell them life and death walk hand in hand beside us, Tell them impossibility surrenders to possibility when we meet. Tell them the sun will set without you, Tell them the seas will dry without you, Tell them the earth will crack and swallow us, Tell them a man has given his friend his purse. And tell them— The moon will be lonely, With no shadow to hold him. The pen will bleed, To remember the artist. Go, and come back. Come back, and go. For mine is yours, And yours is mine. One plus one is one— Let the mystery remain. Travel safe, my love 💕
