Map

I walked across a continent
 where children did not bat an eye
 when made to watch their mother's die
 they left the bodies by the sides
 of roads where only willows cried
 yes even my own eyes were dry
 when somehow there I lost my bride
 the ring slipped free and fell beneath the earth
 so like Orpheus I bowed and went far underneath the firmament
 my harp strings broke, my voice was spent
 I kissed my lady's hand and sent
 my two weeks notice with my rent
 and she grew cold and softly said
 that I am not your lover
 I'm the map you use to find her
 I am not your lover
 I'm just a map you use to find her
 ♪
 I step outside my room once more
 and see what I have seen before
 another ship washed to my shore
 a figure walking towards my door
 her face is tired her dress is torn
 I look into her eyes and feel her thirst
 she says I've come across these waters
 high pressed on by such auspicious signs
 I've watched the stars and read the tides
 the winds have brought me to your side
 I come to you, I am your bride
 and I grew cold as I replied
 that I am not your lover
 I'm the map you used to find him
 I am not your lover
 I'm just a map you use to find him
 ♪
 I am not your lover
 I'm the map you used to find him
 I am not your lover
 I'm just a map you use to find him
 She said I am not your lover
 I'm the map you use to find her
 I am not your lover
 I'm just a map you use to find her
