I find the map and draw a straight line 
Over rivers, farms, and state lines 
The distance from A to where you'd B 
It's only finger lengths that I see 

I touch the place 
Where I'd find your face 
My fingers in creases 
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 words mostly noises 
Ghosts with just voices 
Your words in my memory 
Are like music to me 

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 heart 

After I've 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 

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 

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
