Karaoké Set the Fire to the Third Bar Snow Patrol & Martha Wainwright

I find the map and draw a straight line over rivers, farms and state lines

The distance from A 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 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

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 all I travelled 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

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
