about

lyrics

A line In a space
In a place, uncharted
As I look at the face of you
As I make my way
To your boundaries
I realise that if I trace the way I came
Then others might
Do the same
And find you like I did
And find you like, I did
And I could mark the points of interest on your skin so
They would see and I could join them in
A pattern to make
People find each place
Of you I think is worth finding
And as I look at the face of you
I realise no one knows you like I do
So I will make a map,
Of where you start and end
And I will show in line where you rise and fall
And I will point it out in pen,
The parts of you that lend,
Themselves well to visiting
And as I pass my map of you to my friend
Well he gets it and he sees you like I do
Well I guess not quite like I do
Because I’ve marked you with my hand
And I have walked you with my shoes
And I have mapped you with my eye
I have studied every inch of your surface and
I know every undulation
And as I look, at the face of you
I realise no one knows you like I do
But perhaps
My little map
Will give them a clue
