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 the 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 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

cause from a distance comes the sound of your guitar



And I will look for you in Memphis and 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
