Set The Fire To The Third Bar |
I find the map and draw a straight line |
Over rivers, farms and state lines |
The distance from here to where you'd be |
It's only finger-lengths that I see |
I touch the place |
Where I'd find your face |
My fingers increases |
Of distant dark places |
I hang my coat up in the first bar |
There is no peace that I've found so far |
The laughter penetrates my silence |
As drunken men find flaws in science |
Their word's mostly noises |
Ghosts with 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 pray that something picks me up |
And sets me down in your warm arms |
After I have traveled so far |
We'd set the fire to the third bar |
We'd share each other like an island |
Until exhausted, close our eyelids |
And dreaming, pick up from |
The last place we left off |
Your soft 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 down in your warm arms |
And 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 your warm arms |
