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 fall

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, laid 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
