Souls Without Maps
Tall corn, gravel road
Stained glass on the window
Wrapped in the ragged soul of an old gentle hymn
Making deals with the clouds
Dreaming of those final hours
When the thunder proudly bows to all whispering things

But old ways how they fly
Like the earth from a tired eye
Born again in a new life of flickering whims
We met at those crossroads
Where losing's the only way to go
You looked at me as if to say
"Won't you show me another way, and..."

Take me to your hiding place
Just a soul without a map that got lost 'long the way
Worlds carved in stone, now somehow erased
Souls without maps yet bound to fly away

We kissed in the falling leaves
Sang old time melodies
Danced as our shifting feet turned stumbling
We built our towers tall
Near a sea of shared tears fallen
And cursed the waves that eat the walls ever crumbling
Tell me, can our lonely tears
Find their way through fixed years
On into the circling spheres so far above us
Honey, are you the one to fall
Together with me through it all?
I'm waiting for you to say
That you're the one that can light my way, and...

Take me to your hiding place
Just a soul without a map that got lost 'long the way
Worlds carved in stone, now somehow erased
Souls without maps yet bound to fly away

Stones in the river thrown
Shimmering, sinking alone
Won't know how far flows their rippling rings
So the words of a man grow
Washing over every soul
Though his bones will never know of the light it brings
