I the map and draw a straight line Over rivers, farms, and state lines The 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 My finger 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 with just Your words in my memory Are like music to me
I'm miles from where you are, I lay down on cold ground I, I pray 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 And dreaming, pick up from The last place we left off Your soft skin is weeping A joy you 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 sets me down in your warm arms
I'm miles from where you are, lay down on the cold ground and I, I pray that something picks me up and sets me down in your warm arms
