The Warm & Distant Homelight

Half an hour away from you
Half an hour since the cardinal flew
I tarry with the homelight in view
Half an hour away from you

The rattling heath and the bog does hum
The cold in my ears and the distant lum
Half an hour away from you
Half an hour since my candle withdrew

Once I was roving man
Bundle and staff in me hand
Now lumbered I, lumbered i'll remain
Nevermore will I roam again

Half an hour away from you
Half an hour since the cardinal flew

Now upon the flagstone I stand
Extinguished candle in my hand
I lay me down next to you
Round my head the cardinal flew

Half an hour away from you
Half an hour since the candle withdrew
