My home for as long as I can remember
Sweet Illinois was there

The kitchen always filled with laughter
Sweet Illinois was there

The fields of corn and golden rods
Sweet Illinois was there

I ask to play, and mother nods
Sweet Illinois was there

There's something wrong with Mom, I know
Sweet Illinois was there

She says she's okay and tells me to go
Sweet Illinois was there

She stays in bed for longer each day
Sweet Illinois was there

She seems to be worse, withering away
Sweet Illinois was there

Now she's gone, as am I
Sweet Illinois was there

I have left that place all behind
Bittersweet Illinois was there

the last thing I tasted
was chocolate chip cookies
as you pulled away
giggling
and leaving my lips
tingling
I miss her already

I want to lie
with my legs
entangled in yours,
I want to live
with my heart
in sync with yours,
I want to die
with my hands
entwined in yours..
I am
and have always
been yours.
