I've never heard the song and have no idea what the prompt means!! I have two ideas, but both seem rather obivious. And you know I like to twist...

Prompt #8 for the August

Since you haven't heard the song, maybe complete lyrics will help the creative juices?

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 finger 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
and I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

After I have 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

And 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

This is probably my favorite song on this album and features Martha Wainwright (and I try to avoid cliches, but I find 'haunting' describes her Very Well).

Despite my love of this song, and Snow Patrol in general, I was avoiding this prompt. Since I'm still hanging out in my very own DeNile river barge, I hate to use the D-word, but these lyrics (at least, the prompt's section) seem to fit it perfectly, either for the D of one character or the both of them. But that's just me.

THANKS!!

I'll listen once the kiddie goes to the pool and I'm alone. I WILL get this prompt done eventually. For now, I've moved on th #9.

One word...I can handle THAT!

Cheers!

Thanks!

I hate prompts like this. Give me a LITERAL one and I'm good =)

Cheers!
