I have fallen in love with foreign places
places I have only spent a moment
or a day or a month
and places I have only read about
or seen
In stories and pictures and books
And places I have dreamed.

The places I love, are nothing like here
They are strange and different
and beautiful and challenging.
They are the places I want to call home.

But no one else shares my love,
my wish for a foreign life.
So this place that I call home,
may be the most foreign one of all.
