Temporary like Achilles

ComeAnd talk of all the things we did todayHereAnd laugh about our funny little waysWhile we have a few minutes to breatheThen I know that it's time you must leave

But, darling, be home soonI couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdledMy darling, be home soonIt's not just these few hours, but I've been waiting since I toddledFor the great relief of having you to talk to
