Almost Home

It’s been way too long
Since I held you, darling, in my arms
A thousand more miles and I’ll be by your side
I ache for you every night
It feels so wrong
To leave you all alone
I’ll settle down someday, for now, I’ve got to stray
I’m still yours even when I’m not home
Tired, dirty and bruised, but I won’t sway
Only time and distance stand in my way
I’d drive all through the night, just to see your jade eyes shimmer in the
morning light
I love you, darling, I’m almost home
