FCGC
the computer, the / printer / too, they don’t / care

of the time / long ago / when you were / here with me
CCC / GGG / FFF / CCC
but thoughts of you / wing their way / through a rough, / open air
CCC / FFF / GGG / CCC
tonight, on a / night, on a / night when I / pine
CCC / GGG / FFF / CCC
for you
tonight when I / pine for how / for how it / used to be

the window rain / joining in / with a / winter / tear

the stars of a / heart-break / night up / high
CFGF
a far away / audience of / empty / bonhomie
CGFC
the gas fire / empathy / hissing quiet // nearby
FCGC
the one warm / thing here / tonight with / me
