A Sleepless Night by Amergin

I lie in the bed beside you
Watching your sleeping form
Running my hand along your side
Feeling your flesh, soft and warm
I try to close my weary eyes
But the haven of sleep eludes me
Restless, I listen to your breath
Rising, falling like the dancing sea

But I am leaving you tomorrow
Amidst the scattered rain
Up to Bonners and Sandpoint
Upon the evening train
My thoughts will be with you
As you sit there all alone
As I pass the lonesome miles
Across the hills of home

My arms are wrapped around you
Soaking up your female heat
Listening to the trucks roll past
On a distant moonlit street
I softly kiss the back of your neck
As the tears leak from my eyes
Holding you softly to my body
Waiting for the sun to finally rise

But I am leaving you tomorrow
Amidst the scattered rain
Up to Bonners and Sandpoint
Upon the evening train
My thoughts will be with you
As you sit there all alone
As I pass the lonesome miles
Across the hills of home

I hope that you will be there
To watch the train shudder and wind
Down those cold wet steel tracks
As we hear the whistle grind
I hope that you will be there
To kiss me one last goodbye
To last till the time I return
From the distant northern skies

But I am leaving you tomorrow
Amidst the scattered rain
Up to Bonners and Sandpoint
Upon the evening train
My thoughts will be with you
As you sit there all alone
As I pass the lonesome miles
Across the hills of home
