I draw the border lines with a steady hand
You trace the feelings in the soft warm shifting sands
I measure all the acres while you measure the rain
You count every drop that eases all the aching plains
I stack the bricks higher to raise a city wall
You plant a little garden where the birds can call
I set the milestones out across every far land
You string all the colored flags where feelings stand
I keep the daily ledger of the roads we pave
You sing the songs that make the rivers brave
We're two horizons on a wide open plain
You love the weather, and I love the terrain
But when I draw the boundary line, you call it mine
And when I count the parcels, you find the hidden sign
I talk in borders, you talk in your fears
And somehow we are sharing all these years
We both see the map
You trace the rivers with your hands
I count the borders in my head
You read all the feelings that are spread
It isn't a war
You smile through every hidden crack and scar
I draw a line around this whole place
You trace the edges till the lines erase
And replace
You talk of seasons, I talk of plans
You follow the rivers, I follow the lands
You paint the weather on a plaster wall
I mark the cities with a careful pen and all
You hum the anthem that the summer wind sings
I build the long corridors where the cold air stings
You name the winds that stir the birds into their lonely flight
I name the ports and every coastal trade and right
You want the sunset, I want the border line
You ask for meaning, I ask for the design
And in the quiet of the planning room we stand
I hold a compass and you hold a shaking hand
But every time I trace the line, you find a new way
And every wall I build up becomes a roof today
You turn the blueprint into a live song
And I slowly begin to sing along
We both see the map
You trace the rivers with your hands
And I can feel the wide open sea
And you can read the coastline in me
Your wide ocean floor
I sink my markers where the currents pour
You call the waves by their every form
I draw the harbor walls inside the storm
Then we're warm
