I find the map and draw a straight line Over rivers, farms, and state lines distance from 'A' to where you'd be It's only finger-lengths Jobby that I see I touch the place where I'd find your face finger in creases of distant dark places
I hang my coat up in the first bar There is no peace that I've found far The laughter penetrates my silence As drunken men find flaws in science
Their words mostly noises Ghosts just voices Your words in my memory Are like music to me
I'm miles from where you are, I lay down on the cold ground I, I that something picks me up And sets me down in your warm arms
After I have travelled so far We'd set the fire to third bar We'd share each other like an island Until exhausted, close our eyelids And pick up from The last place we left off Your skin is weeping A joy you can't keep in
I'm miles from where you are, I lay down on the cold ground And I, I pray that something picks me up and sets me in your warm arms
I'm miles from where you are, I lay down on the cold ground and I, I pray that something picks me up and sets me down in warm arms
