THE WORLD UNSEEN
I'm the sparrow on the roof
I'm the list of everyone I have to lose
I'm the rainbow in the dirt
I am who I was and how much I can hurt
So I will look for you
in stories of kings
Westward leading, still proceeding
to the world unseen
I'm the mirror in the hall
from your empty room
I can hear it all
now that we must live apart
I have a lock of hair
and one half of my heart
So I will look for you
between the grooves of the songs we sing
Westward leading, still proceeding
to the world unseen
There are no gifts that will be found
wrapped in winter, way beneath the ground
You must be somewhere in the stars
Because from a distance comes the sound of your guitar
And I will look for you in Memphis
and all the miles between
I will look for you in morphine and in dreams
I will look for you in the rhythm of my bloodstream
Westward leading, still proceeding
to the world unseen.
