Home
(Johan Bengtsson)
I came home at midnight
Don’t want to wake her up
Unlocking the door
Carefully
Turning the key around
Taking off my jacket
Try not to make a sound
Going into the kitchen
To make myself some tea
Still, she is asleep
Still, she is asleep
Looking out the window
At the streets and at the lights
Where late men like me
Are hurrying home to find
People like you
Who are already asleep
Wiser and more beautiful
Than we ever can be
Still, she is asleep
Still, she is asleep
Finishing my tea
Yawn, and brush my teeth
Tiptoe into the bedroom
Take off my clothes and then
Nestling myself against you
And suddenly you wake
And kiss me on my chin
To say goodnight
It is this that I call home
Where I am welcome and feeling safe
It is here that I belong
In your arms
In your arms
