Your sister's golden hair now falls

Across the bed we called our own

She holds her fella tightly

Mocks the isolation of the night

Every loving laugh I've known

Is now a match between my lids

The night is long

Since you have gone

From our home



Can you feel me?

As I reach to touch you in the night

I'd run to you now if I could

But it's a dream - my limbs are still

The night plays tricks on me

Since you have gone

From our home



So I will lie beneath the whispering trees

I'll kiss you in my memory

We'll walk atop these hills of sand

See how you soothe this shaking drunken hand

Beneath the burning sun

I felt us melting into one

A year ago

When you were here

In our home



So I will raise my voice to the north-bound wind

In the morning you will hear me sing

A breeze to soothe your fitful rest

You'll hold this ghost song to your chest

You'll cross the deserts

Cross the seas

For a second you will lie with me

You'll lie with me

In our home
