Your raspy voice

My heavy heart
without love... or home
wishes you would pass my life
your raspy voice my song
my heart dances to its time
oh, but your wife
I'll cover an ear
so as not so well to hear
and wander the other way
no song, my sweet
for me today
and life will pass along
without my lovers song
and maybe yet tomorrow
a hundred years or more
your raspy voice will croon
again... just outside my door
