The Edge Of The Map Lyrics - Singles - Blood Ruby

When I was a child, 

I got lost in the woods 

With my father. 

Our best guesses failed; 

We wound up on a trail 

With no markers. 

My little lamb, 

The best-laid plans 

Sometimes go astray. 

Sometimes the land 

Don't come with maps 

To guide our way. 

Your path is my path; 

It leads me to where I am. 

Follow the road 

Wherever it goes 

Until at last we're past 

The edge of the map. 

There's something out there. 

There's something 

Better than us both. 

There's something unknown 

But please don't fear it. 

As I got older, 

I wandered alone 

In the darkness. 

The lines on my palms 

And a scatter of stars 

For my compass. 

I knew this land 

Like the back of my hand, 

But then it fell away. 

And there where it ends 

The lines on your hands 

Show me another way. 

Your path is my path; 

It leads me to where I am. 

Follow the road 

Wherever it goes 

Until at last-- 

Oh please 

Don't guide me back; 

Just lead me to where I'm at. 

We'll follow the road 

Wherever it goes 

Until at last we're past 

The edge of the map.
