When you stay away so long
Without a word or a song
My heart beat slows
Since as fuel to the engine flows
If not, the engine surely stalls
The same fate I fear for my heart
Since space and time keeps us apart.

Enemies! Enemies are they
Distance and the fitful fretting
And the handy excuses we've to slay,
Instead cultivate caressing and petting,
So when we can't meet at least call,
This will please and profit us all.
