Couldn't Come Home
(This song is dedicated to two friends: Carolyn who lost her husband Peter to illness, and Paulette whose husband Doug is successfully confronting cancer. Made me think of all the small details that are so special about partnership.)
 
Key turning in the lock
Wearing your old socks
Clothes piled upon the bed
Funny things you've said
Hand brushing back your hair
Sitting in your favorite chair
Book dropped in your lap
As you take a little nap

What a warm and sunny day
What if the clouds came and
Turned it into gray

Hand that I hold on walks
Voice that completes my thoughts
Dreams with you wrapped inside
Laughing so hard we cried
Shoulder that rests my head
Place where my heart gets fed
What would I do
If I couldn't come home to you

Plants you love to grow
My secrets that you know
Note left beside the phone
Little smiles for me alone
Getting nervous when I drive
Keeping all those spiders alive
Mending you'll never mend
Our stuff you love to lend

What a warm and sunny day
What if the clouds came and
Turned it into gray

Hand that I hold on walks
Voice that completes my thoughts
Dreams with you wrapped inside
Laughing so hard we cried
Shoulder that rests my head
Place where my heart gets fed
What would I do
If I couldn't come home to you
