Hostel life as a son

It chills my heart like stone cold dark
To think, the things that goes through your mind
When you have to say goodbye
To me again, mother
This little time we spend
Compared to months I am away
Feels like shimmering sunlight in Alaska
Or a hot sunny day
Any amount o'happiness cannot
Compensate for the pain
As I leave to the college again, mother
To see the smile on your face
Spread like yellow tint on sandalwood
Everytime I put my head in your lap
Again I return to my childhood, mother
