International Love Song

Caedmon's Call · Share the Well [2004]

Can I take your picture

Put it in my billfold

You'll never believe where I will take you

Can I have your headband

Put it in my suitcase

You know I'm always gone before I think to thank you



I'm a soul that wanders

In the field between the Hyatt and the Leela

Empty as a tiffen in the afternoon



A perfect love is a world without hunger

A perfect love is a world without hunger



Freckles on your forehead

Twinkle in your eyes

You look just like my true love

Is she in your village

When can I meet her

She's so indigenously dressed

You're so indigenously dressed



I'm a thumb that wanders through

The pages of the National Geographic

Staring at my cell phone in an airport lounge



A perfect love

Maybe I'll stay here

Is a world without hunger



You know a perfect love is a world without hunger

I've never seen it

I've never heard of it before

But I keep looking for

A world without hunger



Cricket for baseball

Polo for golf

Curry for ketchup and barbecue sauce

Lookin' to find a reason to shine

Waitin' in rickshaws, standing in line



Or wandering through the field

Between the Hyatt and the Leela

Empty as a tiffen
