I Am Home - Jamie Alimorad

Something familiar about your face

A glimmer I can’t quite trace

A name on a tag I can’t recall

Yet your eyes say it all

So sorry if I go and make you blush

Forgive me if I say much too much

Much too much

You are the roof above my head

You are the ground beneath my feet

You are the fire in the hearth

The cool breeze in the heat

You are a soft bed of down

For my set of weary bones

Just to hear you say hello

I know I am home

Almost gave up my lifelong quest

Thought I was doomed to loneliness

It’s like I was born a second time

Standing in your checkout line

And I knew just where I belonged

When you placed that dime in my sweaty palm

You are the roof above my head

You are the ground beneath my feet

You are the fire in the hearth

The cool breeze in the heat

You are a soft bed of down

For my set of weary bones

Just to hear you say hello

I know I am home

Hate to walk out on a hunch

When I know it to be true

Gonna jump the gun and say

I love you

You are a soft bed of down to rest my weary bones

Just to hear you say hello

I know I am home
