Every map is a map of the old road

lyrics

Every map is a map of the old road
Every dreamer waiting for a dream to ride
Up the hill and around with the circle tied
To you
Once again

Every map is a map of the old road
Every flower just waiting for an afternoon
To bloom once again and sparkle that tune
For you

Do you think it will be so
You’ll know exactly where to go
And you’ll forget you ever did not know
Your way back home

Every map is a map of the old road
Charting every course, the waves slapping at our side
Crossing the sea, yet again, as we ride
back home

But there are problems on the deck
The blind lookout screams of ‘code red’
You better listen up, listen up now, to what he said
Can you hear me?

And you found your name in that old book
Didn’t have to give it a second look
You went right to the part that left you shook
And you came undone

Every map is a map of the old road
You are native born and staring at the black and sparkling sky
Work your hands in clay, paint the
moon
And don’t ask why
Don’t ask why
