[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
