My Home from Ennui by Drew Mazur

My lady, I’ll be bringing
All my cents
Along with me
When I go
On the train with a rose
Sweet-lemon soul
I’ll meet you in Manhattan streets

The lines that sag below my eyes
Are a history only you realize

You’re my little pilgrim
From another place to be
Don’t you know I’ll rendezvous with you
Across the largest sea
You’ve convinced me I will
Make you my home

A new kiss, soft as jazz, hard as stone
In my lover’s hold
Where the spirits can let us atone

The toffee skin around your eyes
Is a story only I will realize

You’re my little pilgrim
From a distant memory
You’ve convinced me I will
Make you my home

So never be afraid
Of the changing winds that roam
(One moment, you sit in my car
And then I have to watch you go)
Take me home… take me home

You’re my little pilgrim
From another place to be
Don’t you know I’ll rendezvous with you
Across the largest sea
You’ve convinced me I will
Make you my home

My lady
I’ll be bringing all my cents
Along with me
