Snow Patrol "Set The Fire To The Third Bar" lyrics

Set The Fire To The Third Bar

I find the map and draw a straight lineOver rivers, farms, and state linesThe distance from here to where you'd beIt's only finger-lengths that I seeI touch the place where I'd find your faceMy finger in creases of distant dark places

I hang my coat up in the first barThere is no peace that I've found so farThe laughter penetrates my silenceAs drunken men find flaws in science

Their words mostly noisesGhosts with just voicesYour words in my memoryAre like music to me

I'm miles from where you are,I lay down on the cold goundI, I pray that something picks me upAnd sets me down in your warm arms

After I have travelled so farWe'd set the fire to the third barWe'd share each other like an islandUntil exhausted, close our eyelidsAnd dreaming, pick up fromThe last place we left offYour soft skin is weepingA joy you can't keep in

I'm miles from where you are,I lay down on the cold goundAnd I, I pray that something picks me upand sets me down in your warm arms

And miles from where you are,I lay down on the cold goundand I, I pray that something picks me upand sets me down in your warm arms
