Lyrics

[00:12.94] I find the map and draw a straight line
[00:18.25] Over rivers, farms, and state lines
[00:23.15] The distance from 'here' to where you'd be
[00:28.23] It's only finger-lengths that I see
[00:33.36] I touch the place where I'd find your face
[00:43.34] My fingers in creases of distant dark places
[00:53.05] I hang my coat up in the first bar
[00:58.12] There is no peace that I've found so far
[01:02.79] The laughter penetrates my silence
[01:07.61] As drunken men find flaws in science
[01:12.35] Their words mostly noises
[01:17.10] Ghosts with just voices
[01:22.20] Your words in my memory
[01:26.99] Are like music to me
[01:32.00] I'm miles from where you are
[01:35.23] I lay down on the cold ground
[01:39.78] And I pray that something picks me up
[01:43.92] And sets me down in your warm arms
[02:01.85] After I have traveled so far
[02:06.81] We'd set the fire to the third bar
[02:11.62] We'd share each other like an island
[02:16.60] Until exhausted, close our eyelids
[02:21.56] And dreaming, pick up from
[02:26.52] The last place we left off
[02:31.49] Your soft skin is weeping
[02:36.30] A joy you can't keep in
[02:40.96] I'm miles from where you are
[02:43.99] I lay down on the cold ground
[02:48.74] And I pray that something picks me up
[02:54.17] And sets me down in your warm arms
[02:59.22] I'm miles from where you are
[03:02.27] I lay down on the cold ground
[03:07.58] And I pray that something picks me up
[03:11.53] And sets me down in your warm arms
