Homeward

Off and away.
Let these good times stay.
Coughing up this city.
Choking in my throat.

Homeward is home.
From there else I roam.
Sure hope it’s where I left it
On the shelf inside my mind.

Pressed and sealed.
The memories may reveal.
Make some more today,
While tomorrow’s still away.

That room has moved on
And took my baby’s shadow.
While I slept through dawn,
The day called like a sparrow.

Hey kid,
Slip your emerald finger
Into night.
Sleep tight.

Hey kid,
Sleep tight,
While darkening grey
Turns into shiny white.

Home is in your head.
The past has gone to bed.
Sure hope it's where you left it
And not an empty box instead.
