Love, Mostly At A Distance<\/p>\n
If you go and see the world like you want,
\nremember,—– all I want is you.
\nYou will go without me. Not a taunt.
\nStill, our love will never die. It is true.
\nSometimes you are like a rolling stone.
\nYou gather no moss as you move along.
\nI will remain here, faithful to the bone.
\nJust remember that as you sing your song.
\nYou were born with a restless sole.
\nI was born to be a person happy at home.
\nJust remember wherever you go.
\nI don\u2019t like staying here all alone.
\nBring it back. Bring back your love to me.
\nThe longer you\u2019re gone, the worse it is.
\nI know in your heart you want to feel free.
\nStill, you don\u2019t want our love to lose its fizz.
\nI don\u2019t mind going for a day or two.
\nAs long as you are with me the whole way.
\nFor longer trips I always end up missing you.
\nI can\u2019t stand leaving home and staying away.
\nYet, this feeds your sole. It is what you do.
\nMy love will survive till you return.
\nI can think of no other except you.
\nWill your love for me survive, is my concern.
\nUsually I say yes. Being positive is what I do.
\nI see no solution to this ongoing problem.
\nI live with it and take the blows.
\nCan you think of a way to solve them?
\nMy love remains strong. And so it goes.<\/p>\n
