Time for My Returning - Eric Andersen

The night is a time for my returnin'\nMy lover’s heart beats tunes for to tell\nI nuzzle up 'cause brightful to listen\nTo know again the things I know so well\nWell, the day was a day of another highway\nA-walkin' unknown streets and strangers' ways\nThe evenin' is the time for my returnin'\nTo the bed where my body longs to lay\nHer eyes will lead me off a lonesome trail\nHer hands cool my body hot and weary\nShe can harbor me before tomorrow’s journey\nWhen I face again the storms of another sea\nAnd her skin will be as moist as softness soil\nSmellin' warm as the rain fern in the spring\nAnd her breathin' is a waterfall plummet\nTo make the darkness swim and my body sing\nThen love leaps set the night a-flamin'\nIt’ll make the rushin' rivers for to run\nIt’ll take me to the depth of the deepest ocean\nTo the place I know every man comes from
