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

You're willing to sacrifice our love.
You never take advice,
Someday you'll pay the price,
I know.
I've seen it before,
It happens all the time,
You're closing a door,
You'll leave the world behind.

All of the things that go to make heaven and earth
Put your new weight in gold and see what it's worth
All of the things that go to make heaven and earth are here
All of the things that go to make heaven and this

But today, when I tried to you out
to one of my friends,
I picked the wrong girl again
Don't see you in the crowd anymore
I think it's you but I can't be sure

Trying to crawl out of that hole
I followed a path of a piece of a bread, traveling
From one little sparrow's beak
To another little sparrow's beak
He picked it up, threw it and then dropped it, then
This other one picked it up and threw it and again
Then they broke it into pieces
Ate it up and forgot that it ever existed
They were still hungry, I bet
They were still hungry at the end

On every wall inflections carved
Deep as lakes and dark as stars
Remember we were the volunteers
Courts knew this and nothing more
Now it's my rights versus yours

I'd like to sail the world around
And dream about the life I hope I'll find
Now that I must say adieu

Could you bring forth an alibi
Cause she was always in between
The jury and the attorney
You give an ultimatum he will decline
And he was undecided most of the time
And he was always in between
His life and a movie scene
And the weight of our words
Is what we don't understand
Or the test in the part of every woman and every man

It could bring joy it could bring sorrow
But it will come sure as light
Try not to dream a dream tonight
Imagine that you're standing here
And suddenly you disappear
A thread cut with a carving knife
That is what they call our life
