Kiss the nDbape, of my bAack

The bite of frost, on the sidewalk
The morning gDblare, the nervous cAalm
The need to toEuch, the fear to tF#malk
Oh I lAove you

How was your Dbday? I missed your fAace
But I light Eup when that door oF#mpens
I hate WiscDbonsin; the heater's bAroken

I miss my home on the Pacific
But I'll push tDbhrough it, we all get hAomesick
