• When you go away,
    On your trip around the world,
    Don't forget to pack my heart with you.

    It won't take much room,
    Folded up and slipped between the pages of your guidebook,
    Like some tattered pieces of lace
    Or dried out rose petal, save for remembrance..

    Be careful not to let it flutter to the ground
    Lost it some distant, ancient erg.
    Or be swept away from wind
    On some far off and grassy plain..

    Instead, save it from the dark, and cold and lonely night
    When your soul is weary
    And you need to know
    That somewhere, someone waits for you with longing...
