Daydreaming of Home

Like the lost blue ball on the lawn

I am lost and alone, daydreaming of home

I walk the corner of my silent street

I walk on the wet green grass in the backyard

I walk on the cold rustic patio floor

I walk with by myself and my shadow

But...

Like the lost blue ball on the lawn

I am lost and alone, daydreaming of home

I laugh at the obscure TV jokes

I laugh half-heartedly to wish known strangers

I laugh meekly at the nightmares in the early mornings

I laugh at myself in the six-foot mirrors

But...

Like the lost blue ball on the lawn

I am lost and alone, daydreaming of home

I run wild on a cool summer day

I run towards the fair-looking Wilmette beach

I run to weird cities to make it my home

I run to people to make new friends

I run away from phone calls to forget my distant home

But...

Like the lost blue ball on the lawn

I am lost and alone, daydreaming of home

I feel the winter biting at the leaf's rim

I feel the dull breeze numbing my ear tip

I feel the familiar love songs fading away

I feel a crystal of painful memories forming in my heart

But...

Like the lost blue ball on the lawn

I am lost and alone, daydreaming of home

I dream of the life I left behind

I dream of careless wanders and sweet whispers

I dream of hot coffee on early hot summers

I dream of my distant home that I so hastily left behind

But...

Like the lost blue ball on the lawn

I am lost and alone, daydreaming of home

I miss voices of love and tenderness

I miss simple roasted corn and honking horns

I miss the dusty roads and sweet summer mangoes

but most of all I miss just being with my family on a simple sunday morning

But...

Like the lost blue ball on the lawn

I am lost and alone, daydreaming of home
