Paroles de The Edge of the Map

When I was a child, I got lost in the woods With my father. Our best guesses failed; We wound up on a trail With no markers. My little lamb, The best-laid plans Sometimes go astray. Sometimes the land Don't come with maps To guide our way. Your path is my path; It leads me to where I am. Follow the road Wherever it goes Until at last we're past The edge of the map. There's something out there. There's something Better than us both. There's something unknown But please don't fear it. As I got older, I wandered alone In the darkness. The lines on my palms And a scatter of stars For my compass. I knew this land Like the back of my hand, But then it fell away. And there where it ends The lines on your hands Show me another way. Your path is my path; It leads me to where I am. Follow the road Wherever it goes Until at last-- Oh please Don't guide me back; Just lead me to where I'm at. We'll follow the road Wherever it goes Until at last we're past The edge of the map.
