All day I long for it
The nightly phone call
The warmth of my bed
The release from the long empty hours of the day

The effortless work of sleeping and being empty
For you are far away and I am completely unoccupied
The slow and gentle spin of the earth that soothes me
Like a rocking chair in the cold of the wind and rain

My purposeless day goes on until night saves me and we can be together
For all the things I busy my mind and tire my limbs with
I have only you to fill my heart and my soul and then I can sleep again

The warmth of the sheets and comfort of my bed trap me
I do not wish to face another day so I sleep the morning away

If I cannot live then I wish to sleep and if I cannot sleep
You are only a phone call away
