Overland the desert sands are born
|
An all too brief exchange
|
The details somehow got waylaid
|
|
Neither of us were born to be leaders
|
But you made the first move to escape
|
Closer than me to the equator
|
I looked you up on graph paper
|
Not as close as we once were, oh no.
|
|
Undeterred, a man of words was born
|
Your vocation came
|
You found your target and took aim
|
|
Take me to where bodies glide
|
Graceful underneath the waves
|
Closer than me to the equator
|
I looked you up on graph paper
|
Not as close as we once were, no.
|
Not as close as we once were, no.
|
|
I thought I saw your older sister
|
I was gonna ask after you
|
West of Suez, East of Britain
|
I was gonna ask after you
|
'Cause she looked so much like you
|
I meant to ask after you.
