Two Hours Away

This house is nothing more
Than a glorified hotel room
Without you here by my side

Though all my things are here
The biggest of my desires
Is two hours away asleep in his bed

My only source of comfort
Is lost in peaceful slumber
Beneath the same sky I’m under

He’s too far away to touch
Too far way to reach
I can’t hear his breathing beside me

But, God, I feel him in my soul
I feel him in my heart
And he still keeps me warm

Even two hours away
