It's so very hard to leave
To leave the one you love so
And the days are an endless march
As I watch them come and go
I'm so lonely here alone at night
Just dreaming of the time
I'll be back so very soon
Just to feel you hold me tight
And it's so very lonely
Being so far away from home
Those moments when I can't stand it anymore
Are getting closer the more I'm alone
I'm leaving now to catch the early train
And go back to where I truly belong
Back home to hold her once again
Now the longer that I'm away
The longer the nights always take
And the more lonely I get
With each and every day that breaks
I'm so lonely just sitting here
And dreaming of you so far away
I'm leaving on the morning train
So I can make it back home again
When I hear you on the telephone
Down along the humming wire
I can't wait another day
My head is spinning and I'm on fire
I'm going to call her back straight away
To say I'm coming home to stay
Call her and say I'm coming home to stay
Call her and say I'm coming home to stay

This is a good lyrical poem and I hear the music in my head.
