[Intro]
(x2)
[Verse 1]
I find the
map and draw a
straight line
Over rivers
, farms, and s
tate lines
The distanc
e from "A" to
where you'd "B
"
It's only f
inger-lengths
that I see
I touch the
place
where I'd f
ind your face
My fingers
in creases
of distant
dark places
[Verse 2]
I hang my c
oat up in the
first bar
There is no
peace that I'
ve felt so far
The laughte
r penetrates m
y silence
As drunken
men find flaws
in science
Their words
mostly noises
Ghosts with
just voices
Your words
in my memory
Are like mu
sic to me
[Chorus]
I'm miles f
rom where you
are
I lay down o
n the cold g
round
I I pray th
at something p
icks me up
And sets me
down in your
warm arms
[Verse 3]
After I hav
e travelled so
far
We'd set th
e fire to the
third bar
We'd share
each other lik
e an island
Until exhau
sted, close ou
r eyelids
And dreamin
g, pick up fro
m
The last pl
ace we left of
f
Your soft s
kin is weeping
A joy you c
an't keep in
[Chorus]
I'm miles f
rom where you
are
I lay down o
n the cold g
round
And I I pra
y that somethi
ng picks me up
And sets me
down in your
warm arms
I'm miles f
rom where you
are
I lay down o
n the cold g
round
And I I pra
y that somethi
ng picks me up
And sets me
down in your
warm arms
