Its a cold cold night, you are no where to fight,
the frozen rose has to melt, when your warmth shall be felt,
where did you hide O my fireplace, behind the mantle or beneath the vase
It's a cold cold night O dear, how come are you now not near?
Where are cuckoos that sing, for the leaves fallen last spring?
Where are the lemons that cool, as I sip them like a ragged fool?
Where are the brewing coffee mugs, that in the rain offer you hugs?
It's winter too cold dear, how come are you now not near?
I have a blanket to wrap me warm, but none to hug and assure no harm.
I have a laptop to watch all day, right at the bed where I stay.
I have a dog to watch me eat, later lick my plate and sometimes my feet.
But I'm lonely and I fear, how come you are now not near?
Is it the death or that sleep, that keeps you away as the time does leap?
Are you lazy or are you busy, or is it an illusion long and dizzy?
A few hours I was sound and well, how into this pit of torment I fell?
How could you sleep O my dear, when my thoughts are so unclear?
Tell me you dream of you and me, in a fairytale that is to be.
Tell me you do love and do care, in your own dream I have a share.
Tell me we are still just us, all this I miss is a misty fuss.
Tell me that love is a hug, and hug me with the same old shrug.
I do love you O my dear, how come are you now not near.
